In our latest work we applied dipolar direct current (DDC) to get thermodynamic parameters on the dissociation of fatty acyl chains from glycerophospholipids. The driving force is a mixture of entropic and enthalpic reasons. Watch out for the head group! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Our students received two ACS Fellowships and one Honorable Mention this year! Congratulations to Gwendylan Turner (Purdue Simpson Lab) and Mousumi Saha (R. Graham Cooks), as well as Jas Kaur (Kenttamaa lab)! Purdue Chemistry acsanalytical.org/2025/04/16/202…

We are on a roll. The title of the paper tells you everything you need to know 🤓. Happy reading! Mass Determination of Filled and Empty AAV5 Particles Enabled by Nanoelectrospray Ionization and Proton Transfer Charge Reduction | Analytical Chemistry pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Did you know that the Smithsonian has post-doctoral and pre-doctoral fellows? Applications for 2026 are due in October. There is also a special funding pot for pre-docs from Big 10 schools. Email me or find me at #ASMS2025 and let's talk about ideas. fellowships.si.edu/SIFP
