Mechanism-guided Discovery of Fluoroacetate Dehalogenase (FAcD) Variants for Enzymatic PFAS Defluorination

Shaban Ahmad, Asal Forouzandeh, Benedetta Togni…·Tue Kjærgaard Nielsen

The paper presents DeFluorX, a pipeline using Boltz-2 to identify FAcD variants for PFAS defluorination by analyzing geometric and energetic factors in enzyme-PFAS complexes.

Mobilization of genes encoding potential PFAS-degradation enzymes and positive selection in cyanobacteria

Asal Forouzandeh, Malte Storm Lau Schlosser, Annaliese Nan Vernon, Tue Kjærgaard Nielsen

The paper identifies mobilized genes for PFAS-degradation enzymes in cyanobacteria and suggests positive selection driven by stress mitigation rather than metabolic benefit.
