APFO is considered a favoured alternative to SDS for proteome solubilization. Strictly speaking, APFO is not an 'MS-friendly' surfactant for proteome characterization; the detergent not only suppresses ESI signals at high concentration, but also perturbs reversed phase separation. However, the simplicity of APFO removal ahead of LC/MS justifies its use over the conventional SDS.

Previously unrecognized and energetically favorable rearrangements during the collision-induced fragmentation of phenoxyacetate have been characterized using isotopic labeling and DFT computations. Notably, the phenyl substituent plays an indispensable role in each rearrangement process resulting in multiple pathways for the fragmentation of phenoxyacetate.
