Title: “Development of a 1H solution NMR platform for characterization, screening, and development of therapeutic proteins and peptides”

Abstract

Simple 1H NMR methods are often underused as a means to characterize protein behavior in discovery and development of Biologics. Most commonly, 1D PROFILE offers a means to assess differences in proteins for batch to batch comparability and biosimilar applications and is the first step in providing a relatively fast, low-resolution option to assess the solution behavior of proteins. We build the next step using DOSY methods to define a Diffusion Profile that defines protein behavior as a distribution of sizes and association states to capture complexities such as self-interactions or aggregation. Lastly we show how coupling information from DOSY and 1H R2 measurements can further refine our understanding of behavior by profiling motions as well as interactions. Combined, these three methods provide an NMR Toolbox that can be used to rapidly characterize behavior, aid in formulation screening and address developability of Biologics under relevant formulation conditions.
