the beholder: The presented chemicalmodel for the inner‐ring deiodination of thyroxine (T4) and 3,5,3′‐triiodothyronine (T3) by iodothyroninedeiodinase (see scheme) highlights the importance of an in‐built thiol group in proximity to the selenium atom. The effective removal of iodine in the case of T4 indicates that an enol–keto tautomerism is not required for deiodination.
