The Australian brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula) is adapted to a wide range of food plants across its range and is exposed to numerous physiological challenges. Populations that are resistant to the plant toxin sodium fluoroacetate are of particular interest as this compound has been used since the 1940s for vertebrate pest management around the world. Candidate gene identification is an important first step in understanding how spatial populations have responded to local selection resulting in local physiological divergence.

Can reversed-phase peptide retention be the same for C8 and C18 columns? or increase for otherwise identical columns with a smaller surface area? Can replacing trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) with formic acid (FA) improve the peak shape? According to our common understanding of peptide chromatography, absolutely not. Surprisingly, a thorough comparison of the peptide separation selectivity of 100 and 120 Å fully porous C18 sorbents to maximize the performance of our in-house proteomics LC-MS/MS setup revealed an unexpectedly higher peptide retentivity for a wider pore packing material, despite it having a smaller surface area. Concurrently, the observed increase in peptide retention─which drives variation in separation selectivity between 100 and 120 Å pore size materials─was more pronounced for smaller peptides.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have received increased attention due to their environmental prevalence and threat to public health. Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) is an ultrashort-chain PFAS and the simplest perfluorocarboxylic acid (PFCA). While the US EPA does not currently regulate TFA, its chemical similarity to other PFCAs and its simple molecular structure make it a suitable model compound for studying the transformation of PFAS.

However, the computational tools that predict favorable enzyme scaffolds for separating a racemic substrate mixture are underdeveloped. To address this challenge, we trained a deep learning framework, EnzyKR, to automate the selection of hydrolases for stereoselective biocatalysis.

The wavelength dependence of photoproduct formation and quantum yields was evaluated for fluorinated pesticides and pharmaceuticals using UV-light emitting diodes (LEDs) with 255, 275, 308, 365, and 405 nm peak wavelengths. The fluorinated compounds chosen were saflufenacil, penoxsulam, sulfoxaflor, fluoxetine, 4-nitro-3-trifluoromethylphenol (TFM), florasulam, voriconazole, and favipiravir, covering key fluorine motifs (benzylic-CF, heteroaromatic-CF, aryl-F, and heteroaromatic-F). Quantum yields for the compounds were consistently higher for UV-C as compared to UV-A wavelengths and did not show the same trend as molar absorptivity.
