Presentation:
“From Discovery to the Routine – Mass Spectrometric Workflows for the Characterization of Protein-Based Biopharmaceuticals”
Abstract:
|
Characterization of a biopharmaceutical compound is essential at
each stage during its life-cycle. However, characterization of
protein-based biopharmaceuticals is challenging in comparison with
their small molecule counterparts due to their high molecular weight
and heterogeneous nature. Of the analytical tools available, mass
spectrometric methods are some of the most powerful. Here we present
an overview of Bruker Daltonics solutions including an automated
rapid workflow for the routine characterization of biopharmaceutical
products; discovery and development tools for more detailed
characterization including primary structure and N-terminal sequence
determination, determination of post-translational modifications
including glycosylation patterns, and determination of disulphide
bonds.

“Plasma Peptide Biomarkers: From Sample to Spectrum”
Jizu Yi, Ph.D.
Principal Scientist / Proteomics R & D at BD Diagnostics
Abstract:
Plasma peptides are found to be rich in a human plasma sample, and
contain status information of a variety of diseases. The discovered
peptide markers such as FPA, GLP-1, GIP, Glucagon, and Ghrelin, are
potentially developed for clinical application. However, these
potential metabolic peptide biomarkers like other peptides are
subject to preanalytical variability, specifically due to the
instability caused by intrinsic proteolysis. The proteolytic
instability may result in a barrier in translating discovered
biomarkers from research into applications. Using time-course MS
analysis, we have characterized the kinetics of digestion of a
peptide as a Sequential Multiple-Step Reaction (SMSR). We also
developed a time-course MALDI-TOF MS method to evaluate the stability
of a potential peptide marker from sample to spectrum. We further
developed a technology to minimize this variability and instability
using enzymatic inhibitors in the blood collection tube. Stabilization
of plasma peptides enables them for further biomarker development
from discovery to application.
