Analyzing Carbohydrates on Therapeutic Glycoproteins
Spectroscopy E-Books
A very important component of the characterization of therapeutic proteins is the analysis of the carbohydrate structures that are attached to them. Those carbohydrates play an important role in ensuring the safety and efficacy of these drugs, and are an important consideration when comparing a candidate biosimilar drug to its reference product. For advice on this topic,

FT-IR Analysis of pH and Xylitol Driven Conformational Changes of Ovalbumin–Amide VI Band Study
November 21st 2024This study uses Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy to analyze how the globular protein ovalbumin's secondary structures transition under varying pH conditions in the presence of the cosolvent xylitol, highlighting the role of noncovalent interactions in these conformational changes.
