Retention time prediction is dead, long live retention order index prediction! | Lehrstuhl Bioinformatik Jena

We just solved a problem that I never wanted to solve: That is, transferable retention time prediction of small molecules. They say that the best king is someone who does not want to be king; so maybe, the best problem solver is someone who does not want to solve the problem? Not sure about that.

Our preprint Times are changing but order matters: Transferable prediction of small molecule liquid chromatography retention times is finally available on chemRxiv! Congratulations to Fleming and all authors. In short, we show that prediction of retention times is a somewhat ill-posed problem, as retention times vary substantially even for nominally identical condition. Next, we show
