Challenges and Opportunities in Biopharmaceutical Higher Order Structure and Conformation Stability Analysis: A Focus on HDX Applications
Event Date: March 27, 2012 at 11:00 AM EDT

Regulators are encouraging the biopharmaceutical industry to improve biophysical characterization of protein therapeutics when performing drug safety evaluations. This is especially important for higher order structure integrity, conformation stability, and epitope mapping, all crucial steps for therapeutic antibody characterization. However, previously there was no widely available, high-resolution analytical method to characterize protein therapeutics in solutions. Hydrogen/deuterium-exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) has become increasingly popular with academia investigating protein dynamics, as well as protein-ligand and protein-protein interactions. Recent development of automation and data-extraction software enables the application of HDX-MS to protein characterization in the biopharmaceutical industry. Several companies have used or are considering using HDX-MS data for their regulatory agency filings. This webinar will detail the fundamentals of HDX-MS and its application to biopharmaceutical development.
