The evolving toolkit for protein characterization

Advanced mass spectrometry and multidimensional separation strategies are improving the characterization of proteins, peptides, and complex biotherapeutics.

Understanding how proteins function and how biotherapeutics perform requires detailed analysis of sequence, structure, and post-translational modifications (PTMs). Recent advances in liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS) have expanded the ability to investigate complex biomolecules with greater resolution, sensitivity, and analytical depth.

This ebook explores how electron capture dissociation (ECD), multidimensional separation approaches, and high-resolution mass spectrometry are advancing protein characterization. Through examples involving proteins, monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogs, it highlights strategies for sequence analysis, variant identification, and modification mapping in complex biological samples.

  • How ECD preserves labile PTMs while enhancing protein and peptide analysis
  • How multidimensional workflows uncover charge-based heterogeneity in mAbs
  • How LC-MS enables comprehensive characterization of GLP-1 analogs
