Abstract
For irreversible denaturation transitions such as those exhibited by monoclonal antibodies, differential scanning calorimetry provides the denaturation temperature, Tm, the rate of denaturation at Tm, and the activation energy at Tm. These three quantities are essential but not sufficient for an accurate extrapolation of the rate of denaturation to temperatures of 25 °C and below. We have observed that the activation energy is not constant but temperature dependent due to the existence of an activation heat capacity, Cp,a. It is shown in this paper that a model that incorporates Cp,a is able to account for previous observations like, for example, that increasing the Tm does not always improve the stability at low temperatures; that some antibodies exhibit lower stabilities at 5 °C than at 25 °C; or that low temperature stabilities do not follow the rank order derived from Tm values. Most importantly, the activation heat capacity model is able to reproduce time dependent stabilities measured by size exclusion chromatography at low temperatures.

Abstract
Characterization and understanding of protein higher order structure (HOS) is essential at all stages of biologics development. Here, two folding variants of a bispecific monoclonal antibody, the correctly folded form and an alternative configuration with reduced potency, were characterized by several HOS characterization techniques. Specifically, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), circular dichroism (CD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman and Raman optical activity (ROA) spectroscopy were used together to elucidate the impacts of disulfide bond scrambling in the fused scFv domains on the structure and thermal stability of the antibody. This study illustrates the importance of selecting appropriate biophysical characterization techniques based on the nature and magnitude of the HOS change.

Abstract
Dried porous materials can be found in a wide range of applications. So far, they are mostly prepared from inorganic or indigestible raw materials. The aim of the presented study was to provide a proof of concept for (a) the suitability of mealworm protein gels to be turned into dried porous biomaterials by either a combination of solvent exchange and supercritical drying to obtain aerogels or by lyophilization to obtain lyophilized hydrogels and (b) the suitability of either drying method to retain trace elements such as zinc in the gels throughout the drying process. Hydrogels were prepared from mealworm protein, subsequently dried using either method, and characterized via FT-IR, BET volume, and high-resolution scanning electron microscopy. Retention of zinc was evaluated via energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Results showed that both drying methods were suitable for obtaining dried porous biomaterials and that the drying method mainly influenced the overall surface area and pore hydrophobicity but not the secondary structure of the proteins in the gels or their zinc content after drying. Therefore, a first proof of concept for utilizing mealworm protein hydrogels as a base for dried porous biomaterials was successful and elucidated the potential of these materials as future sustainable alternatives to more conventional dried porous materials.

LANGMUIR : THE ACS JOURNAL OF SURFACES AND COLLOIDS 2024; 40:5858-5868. [PMID: 38445553 PMCID: PMC10956494 DOI: 10.1021/acs.langmuir.3c03730] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2023] [Revised: 02/25/2024] [Accepted: 02/26/2024] [Indexed: 03/07/2024]
Abstract
Throughout bioprocessing, transportation, and storage, therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) experience stress conditions that may cause protein unfolding and/or chemical modifications. Such structural changes may lead to the formation of aggregates, which reduce mAb potency and may cause harmful immunogenic responses in patients. Therefore, aggregates need to be detected and removed or ideally prevented from forming. Air-liquid interfaces, which arise during various stages of bioprocessing, are one of the stress factors causing mAb aggregation. In this study, the behavior of an immunoglobulin G (IgG) at the air-liquid interface was investigated under flow using macro attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopic imaging. This chemically specific imaging technique allows observation of adsorption of IgG to the air-liquid interface and detection of associated secondary structural changes. Chemical images revealed that IgG rapidly accumulated around an injected air bubble under flow at 45 °C; however, no such increase was observed at 25 °C. Analysis of the second derivative spectra of IgG at the air-liquid interface revealed changes in the protein secondary structure associated with increased intermolecular β-sheet content, indicative of aggregated IgG. The addition of 0.01% w/v polysorbate 80 (PS80) reduced the amount of IgG at the air-liquid interface in a static setup at 30 °C; however, this protective effect was lost at 45 °C. These results suggest that the presence of air-liquid interfaces under flow may be detrimental to mAb stability at elevated temperatures and demonstrate the power of ATR-FTIR spectroscopic imaging for studying the structural integrity of mAbs under bioprocessing conditions.

Abstract
According to previous research, adding CaCl2 to the salting solution improves the quality of salted separated egg yolk. To further understand the improvement mechanism of CaCl2, this paper investigated the effect of CaCl2 on the structure of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) during the salting process. The results indicated that the addition of CaCl2 can affect the composition of HDL and LDL apolipoproteins, improving the orderliness of the HDL structure and the looseness of the LDL structure. It was discovered by atomic force microscopy (AFM) that adding CaCl2 to the salting solution can weaken the aggregation behavior of HDL. Simultaneously, the addition of CaCl2 decreased the relative content of intermolecular β-sheets in the secondary structure of HDL and LDL, influenced their tertiary conformation, and prevented HDL and LDL from participating in the formation of a three-dimensional gel structure by influencing their hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions.

Abstract
The extra-cellular matrix (ECM) is a complex and rich microenvironment that is exposed and over-expressed across several injury or disease pathologies. Biomaterial therapeutics are often enriched with peptide binders to target the ECM with greater specificity. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a major component of the ECM, yet to date, few HA adherent peptides have been discovered. A class of HA binding peptides was designed using B(X7)B hyaluronic acid binding domains inspired from the helical face of the Receptor for Hyaluronic Acid Mediated Motility (RHAMM). These peptides were bioengineered using a custom alpha helical net method, allowing for the enrichment of multiple B(X7)B domains and the optimisation of contiguous and non-contiguous domain orientations. Unexpectedly, the molecules also exhibited the behaviour of nanofiber forming self-assembling peptides and were investigated for this characteristic. Ten 23-27 amino acid residue peptides were assessed. Simple molecular modelling was used to depict helical secondary structures. Binding assays were performed with varying concentrations (1-10 mg/mL) and extra-cellular matrices (HA, collagens I-IV, elastin, and Geltrex). Concentration mediated secondary structures were assessed using circular dichroism (CD), and higher order nanostructures were visualized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). All peptides formed the initial apparent 310/alpha-helices, yet peptides 17x-3, 4, BHP3 and BHP4 were HA specific and potent (i.e., a significant effect) binders at increasing concentrations. These peptides shifted from apparent 310/alpha-helical structures at low concentration to beta-sheets at increasing concentration and also formed nanofibers which are noted as self-assembling structures. Several of the HA binding peptides outperformed our positive control (mPEP35) at 3-4 times higher concentrations, and were enhanced by self-assembly as each of these groups had observable nanofibers. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Specific biomolecules or peptides have played a crucial role in developing materials or systems to deliver key drugs and therapeutics to a broad spectrum of diseases and disorders. In these diseased tissues, cells build protein/sugar networks, which are uniquely exposed and great targets to deliver drugs to. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is involved in every stage of injury and is abundant in cancer. To date, only two HA specific peptides have been discovered. In our work, we have designed a way to model and trace binding regions as they appear on the face of a helical peptide. Using this method we have created a family of peptides enriched with HA binding domains that stick with 3-4 higher affinity than those previously discovered.

Abstract
High concentration protein formulations for subcutaneous injection represent a substantial number of development projects in the pharmaceutical industry. Such concentrated aqueous protein solutions face some specific challenges such as increased viscosity and aggregation propensity. Protein powder suspensions in non-aqueous vehicles could be an alternative providing lower viscosity than the respective aqueous solution. The choice of potential suspension vehicles is limited as traditional non-aqueous liquids, such as oils, show an inherent high viscosity. We studied suspensions prepared by dispersing spray-dried protein powder in different vehicles including sesame oil and medium chain triglycerides, as well as fluorinated and semifluorinated alkanes. We found, that semifluorinated alkanes enable formulations with high concentrations up to 280 mg/ml monoclonal antibody with a low viscosity of less than 10 mPa·s and low injection forces. The glide force of suspensions containing 210 mg/ml protein was not affected by the particle size of the spray-dried powders with medians ranging from 1 to 14 µm. In contrast, suspensions prepared with cryo-milled powder showed markedly higher viscosities and were not injectable at the same concentration. Protein powder suspensions were syringeable using a 25G needle. Vial filling using a peristaltic pump was possible and lead to a uniform filling. Sedimentation of the suspension was slow and does not lead to challenges upon vial filling during manufacturing or transfer of the suspension into syringes. Thus, we could show that dispersions of spray-dried protein powders in non-aqueous vehicles, such as semifluorinated alkanes, are a promising alternative to aqueous protein solutions at high concentrations.

Abstract
To improve the gel properties of duck egg white gel and increase the industrial value of duck egg white, the mechanisms of ultrasound and synergetic phosphorylation/ultrasound treatments were examined in this study. It was found that as the ultrasound power increased, the surface hydrophobicity, hardness, and cohesiveness of the gel system increased, and the ζ-potential and water mobility decreased. Of the two treatments, phosphorylation/ultrasound had the strongest impact on the conformation and crystallinity of the gel system and promoted the formation of high molecular polymers. Both gel systems displayed enhanced compactness, stability, and gel strength because of the enhanced protein-protein interactions via hydrogen bonds and protein aggregation, and increased the content of intramolecular β-sheets following ultrasound treatment, and synergetic phosphorylation/ultrasound further improved the stability, water binding and gel properties. This experiment showed that ultrasound and, particularly, phosphorylation/ultrasound are effective methods to improve the gel properties of duck egg white. This study enhanced our understanding of the interactions of sodium pyrophosphate and egg white under ultrasound treatment, and promote the potential application of sodium pyrophosphate and ultrasound treatment of novel food products.

Abstract
Mid-infrared spectroscopy is a sensitive and selective technique for probing molecules in the gas or liquid phase. Investigating chemical reactions in bio-medical applications such as drug production is recently gaining particular interest. However, monitoring dynamic processes in liquids is commonly limited to bulky systems and thus requires time-consuming offline analytics. In this work, we show a next-generation, fully-integrated and robust chip-scale sensor for online measurements of molecule dynamics in a liquid solution. Our fingertip-sized device utilizes quantum cascade technology, combining the emitter, sensing section and detector on a single chip. This enables real-time measurements probing only microliter amounts of analyte in an in situ configuration. We demonstrate time-resolved device operation by analyzing temperature-induced conformational changes of the model protein bovine serum albumin in heavy water. Quantitative measurements reveal excellent performance characteristics in terms of sensor linearity, wide coverage of concentrations, extending from 0.075 mg ml-1 to 92 mg ml-1 and a 55-times higher absorbance than state-of-the-art bulky and offline reference systems.

Abstract
Glycation of proteins results in structural alteration, functional deprivation, and generation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) that are generated during in vivo autoxidation of glucose induces glycoxidation of intermediate glycation-adducts, which in turn give rise to aldehyde and/or ketone groups containing dicarbonyls or reactive carbonyl species (RCS). RCS further reacts non-enzymatically and starts the glycation-oxidation vicious cycle, thus exacerbating oxidative, carbonyl, and glycative stress in the physiological system. Glyoxal (GO), a reactive dicarbonyl that generates during glycoxidation and lipid peroxidation, contributes to glycation. This in vitro physicochemical characterization study focuses on GO-induced glycoxidative damage suffered by immunoglobulin G (IgG) and fibrinogen proteins. The structural alterations were analyzed by UV-vis, fluorescence, circular dichroism, and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. Ketoamines, protein carbonyls, hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), free lysine, free arginine, carboxymethyllysine (CML), and protein aggregation were also quantified. Structural perturbations, increased concentration of ketoamines, protein carbonyls, HMF, and malondialdehyde (MDA) were reported in glycated proteins. The experiment results also validate increased oxidative stress and AGEs formation i.e. IgG-AGEs and Fib-AGEs. Thus, we can conclude that AGEs formation during GO-mediated glycation of IgG and fibrinogen could hamper normal physiology and might play a significant role in the pathogenesis of diabetes-associated secondary complications.

Abstract
Amyloids are proteinaceous deposits considered an underlying pathological hallmark of several degenerative diseases. The mechanism of amyloid formation and its inhibition still represent challenging issues, especially when protein structure cannot be investigated by classical biophysical techniques as for the intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs). In this view, the need to find an alternative way for providing molecular and structural information regarding IDPs prompted us to set a novel, to our knowledge, approach focused on UV Resonance Raman (UVRR) spectroscopy. To test its applicability, we study the fibrillation of hen-egg white lysozyme (HEWL) and insulin as well as their interaction with resveratrol, employing also intrinsic fluorescence spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The increasing of the β-sheet structure content at the end of protein fibrillation probed by FTIR occurs simultaneously with a major solvent exposure of tryptophan (Trp) and tyrosine (Tyr) residues of HEWL and insulin, respectively, as revealed by UVRR and intrinsic fluorescence spectroscopy. However, because the latter technique is successfully used when proteins naturally contain Trp residues, it shows poor performances in the case of insulin, and the information regarding its tertiary structure is exclusively provided by UVRR spectroscopy. The presence of an increased concentration of resveratrol induces mild changes in the secondary structure of both protein fibrils while remodeling HEWL fibril length and promoting the formation of amorphous aggregates in the case of insulin. Although the intrinsic fluorescence spectra of proteins are hidden by resveratrol signal, UVRR Trp and Tyr bands are resonantly enhanced, showing a good sensitivity to the presence of resveratrol and marking a modification in the noncovalent interactions in which they are involved. Our findings demonstrate that UVRR is successfully employed in the study of aggregation-prone proteins and of their interaction with ligands, especially in the case of Trp-lacking proteins.

[PMID: 34343810 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2021.130663] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2021] [Revised: 07/19/2021] [Accepted: 07/19/2021] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
Effects of high internal phase emulsion (HIPE) stabilized by egg yolk-modified starch complex on the gelling properties of chicken gels with or without sodium chloride (NaCl)/sodium tripolyphosphate (TP) were studied. The addition of 30 % HIPE increased the hardness from 376 g to 590 g. The NaCl addition further improved textural and viscoelastic properties compared with the gels without NaCl. 30 % HIPE-filled gels with salts (NaCl and TP) has the highest hardness (3562 g) and the lowest cooking loss (3.41 %). Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR) revealed that salts, especially TP, could promote the transition of α-helices to β-sheets structure. Moreover, the chicken gels with TP had higher acyl chain disorder. In summary, the co-addition of HIPE and salt (NaCl/TP) has a positive effect on the formation of chicken gel, thereby providing potential applications in comminuted meat products.

Abstract
Pharmaceutical formulations utilizing protein drugs as powders can be used as drug delivery systems in various ways. Besides powders for inhalation, another promising approach is their use as suspensions in non-aqueous liquids for subcutaneous administration providing high protein stability and good injectability. In this study protein powder suspensions were prepared using a swing-mill. Milling of lyophilizates containing a model monoclonal antibody in presence of the suspension vehicle was compared to cryogenic dry milling. Wet media milling led to injectable suspensions, but resulted in monomer loss and increase in protein aggregation. When the lyophilizates were cryogenic dry ball milled less aggregation and monomer loss were detected. Differences related to protein integrity were found for different process parameters, which were successfully optimized. If not cooled with liquid nitrogen, dry milling resulted in increased damage to the mAb. The type of polyol stabilizer, as well as the protein to stabilizer ratio, did not affect the preservation of protein integrity. As finding the right milling duration is time and resource intensive, a correlation between lyophilizate cake hardness and milling duration was established. Based on this approach high concentration lyophilizates were successfully micronized. Suspensions of cryogenic milled powders lead to clogging of 25G needles, which could be prevented by an additional sieving step. Depending on the suspension vehicle, low viscosity formulations (<10 mPa·s) even at high concentrations (≥100 mg/ml protein concentration) were obtained featuring good injectability.

Abstract
Therapeutic proteins as biopharmaceuticals have emerged as a very important class of drugs for the treatment of many diseases. However, they are less stable compared to conventional pharmaceuticals. Their long-term stability in solid forms, which is critical for product performance, depends heavily on the retention of the native protein structure during the lyophilization (freeze-drying) process and, thereafter, in the solid state. Indeed, the biological function of proteins is directly related to the tertiary and secondary structure. Besides physical stability and biological activity, conformational stability (three-dimensional structure) is another important aspect when dealing with protein pharmaceuticals. Moreover, denaturation as loss of higher order structure is often a precursor to aggregation or chemical instability. Careful study of the physical and chemical properties of proteins in the dried state is therefore critical during biopharmaceutical drug development to deliver a final drug product with built-in quality that is safe, high-quality, efficient, and affordable for patients. This review provides an overview of common analytical techniques suitable for characterizing pharmaceutical protein powders, providing structural, and conformational information, as well as insights into dynamics. Such information can be very useful in formulation development, where selecting the best formulation for the drug can be quite a challenge.

Abstract
The temperature-dependent secondary structure of two monoclonal IgG antibodies, anti-IGF1R and anti-TSLP, were examined by transmission mode Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Anti-IGF1R and anti-TSLP are IgG monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) directed against human Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 Receptor for anti-tumor activity and Thymic Stromal Lymphopoietin cytokine for anti-asthma activity, respectively. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) clearly indicates both antibodies in their base formulations have a lower temperature protein conformational change near 70 °C (Tm1) and a higher temperature protein conformational change near 85 °C (Tm2). Thermal scanning dynamic light scatting (TS-DLS) indicates a significant particle size increase for both antibodies near Tm2 suggesting a high level of protein aggregation. The nature of these protein conformational changes associated with increasing the formulation temperature and decreasing sucrose concentration were identified by transmission mode FTIR and second derivative FTIR spectroscopy of temperature controlled aqueous solutions of both monoclonal antibodies. The transition from intra-molecular β sheets to inter-molecular β sheets was clearly captured for both monoclonal antibodies using FTIR spectroscopy. Finally, FTIR Spectroscopy was able to show the impact of a common excipient such as sucrose on the stability of each monoclonal antibody, further demonstrating the usefulness of FTIR spectroscopy for studying protein aggregation and formulation effects.

Abstract
Solid-state is the preferred choice for storage of protein therapeutics to improve stability and preserve the biological activity by decreasing the physical and chemical degradation associated with liquid protein formulations. Lyophilization or freeze-drying is an effective drying method to overcome the instability problems of proteins. However, the processing steps (freezing, primary drying and secondary drying) involved in the lyophilization process can expose the proteins to various stress and harsh conditions, leading to denaturation, aggregation often a loss in activity of protein therapeutics. Stabilizers such as sugars and surfactants are often added to protect the proteins against physical stress associated with lyophilization process and storage conditions. Another way to curtail the degradation of proteins due to process related stress is by modification of the lyophilization process. Slow freezing, high nucleation temperature, decreasing the extent of supercooling, and annealing can minimize the formation of the interface (ice-water) by producing large ice crystals with less surface area, thereby preserving the native structure and stability of the proteins. Hence, a thorough understanding of formulation composition, lyophilization process parameters and the choice of analytical methods to characterize and monitor the protein instability is crucial for development of stable therapeutic protein products. This review provides an overview of various stress conditions that proteins might encounter during lyophilization process, mechanisms to improve the stability and analytical techniques to tackle the proteins instability during both freeze-drying and storage.

Abstract
Ensilication is a novel method of protein thermal stabilisation using silica. It uses a modified sol–gel process which tailor fits a protective silica shell around the solvent accessible protein surface. This, electrostatically attached, shell has been found to protect the protein against thermal influences and retains its native structure and function after release. Here, we report the calorimetric analysis of an ensilicated model protein, hen egg-white lysozyme (HEWL) under several ensilication conditions. DSC, TGA-DTA-MS, CD, were used to determine unfolding temperatures of native, released and ensilicated lysozyme to verify the thermal resilience of the ensilicated material. Our findings indicate that ensilication protects against thermal fluctuations even at low concentrations of silica used for ensilication. Secondly, the thermal stabilisation is comparable to lyophilisation, and in some cases is even greater than lyophilisation. Additionally, we performed a mouse in vivo study using lysozyme to demonstrate the antigenic retention over long-term storage. The results suggest that protein is confined within the ensilicated material, and thus is unable to unfold and denature but is still functional after long-term storage. Ensilication is a novel method of protein thermal stabilisation using silica. It uses a modified sol–gel process which tailor fits a protective silica shell around the protein to enable room temperature storage of biopharmaceuticals.![]()

Abstract
Salted eggs, which are a traditional Chinese egg product, are favored by Chinese consumers and have become very popular in other Asian countries due to their unique features such as "fresh, fine, tender, loose, gritty and oily texture." In order to illuminate the forming process of salted egg, the gelation behavior and mechanism of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) induced by NaCl were investigated using marinated model outside the eggshell. Results showed that as the salting proceeded, the moisture content exhibited a decreasing trend. The NaCl content, oil exudation, hardness, and surface hydrophobicity showed constantly increasing trends. In the early stages of salting, the size of the LDL particles, soluble protein content, and T21 increased, whereas T21 (with D2O), T22, and the free sulfhydryl content declined. In the later stages of salting, LDL formed a multiple composite aggregate gel structure with filamentous apoproteins and non-spherical lipid particles intertwined with each other. The soluble protein content and T23 (without D2O) decreased, whereas T21 (with D2O), T22 and the free sulfhydryl content increased. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy revealed that the fresh LDL mainly consisted of α-helix and β-sheet structures. After the gel becomes hardened, the LDL secondary structure was changed remarkably, characterized by the decrease of α-helix elements and increase of β-sheet elements. The results suggested that the oil exudation of salted LDL gels was mainly due to LDL destruction and the release of components (apoproteins, phospholipids, and neutral lipids) facilitated by increased interactions between apoproteins and lipids.

Abstract
Deuterium incorporation in solid-state hydrogen deuterium exchange with mass spectrometry (ssHDX-MS) has been correlated with protein aggregation on storage in sugar-based solid matrices. Here, the effects of sucrose, arginine and histidine buffer on the rate of aggregation of a lyophilized monoclonal antibody (mAb) were assessed using design of experiments (DoE) and response surface methodology. Lyophilized formulations were characterized using ssHDX-MS and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ssFTIR) to assess potential correlation with stability in solid state. The samples were subjected to storage stability at 5 °C and stressed stability at 40 °C/75% RH for 6 months, and the aggregation rate was measured using size exclusion chromatography (SEC). Different levels of arginine had no significant effect on deuterium uptake in ssHDX-MS, although stability studies showed that aggregation rate decreased with increasing arginine concentration. Similarly, when histidine buffer was replaced with phosphate buffer at the same pH and molarity, ssHDX-MS showed no differences in deuterium uptake, but storage stability studies showed a significant increase in aggregation rate. The results suggest that proteins can be stabilized in amorphous solids by ionic interactions which ssHDX-MS does not detect, an important indication of the limitations of the method.

Abstract
In this work, we studied the propagation of ultrasonic waves of lysozyme solutions characterized by different degrees of aggregation and networking. The experimental investigation was performed by means of the transient grating (TG) spectroscopy as a function of temperature, which enabled measurement of the ultrasonic acoustic proprieties over a wide time window, ranging from nanoseconds to milliseconds. The fitting of the measured TG signal allowed the extraction of several dynamic properties, here we focused on the speed and the damping rate of sound. The temperature variation induced a series of processes in the lysozyme solutions: Protein folding-unfolding, aggregation and sol–gel transition. Our TG investigation showed how these self-assembling phenomena modulate the sound propagation, affecting both the velocity and the damping rate of the ultrasonic waves. In particular, the damping of ultrasonic acoustic waves proved to be a dynamic property very sensitive to the protein conformational rearrangements and aggregation processes.

Abstract
The eye lens contains a highly concentrated, polydisperse mixture of crystallins, and a loss in transparency during cataract formation is attributed to the aggregation of these proteins. Most biochemical and biophysical studies of crystallins have been performed in diluted samples because of various physical limitations of the respective method at physiological concentrations of up to 200-400 mg/mL. We introduce a straightforward proton NMR transverse relaxometry method to quantify simultaneously proteins in the dissolved and aggregated states at these elevated concentrations, because these states significantly differ in their transverse relaxation properties. The key feature of this method is a direct observation of the protein signal in a wide range of relaxation delays, from few microseconds up to few hundred milliseconds. We applied this method to follow heat-induced aggregation of bovine α- and γB-crystallin between 60 and 200 mg/mL. We find that at 60 °C, a temperature where both crystallins still comprise a native tertiary structure, γB-crystallin aggregated at these high protein concentrations with a time constant of about 30-40 h. α-crystallin remained soluble at 60 mg/mL but formed a transparent gel at 200 mg/mL. This quantitative NMR method can be applied to investigations of other proteins and their mixtures under various aggregation conditions.

Abstract
Biosimilars are products that are similar in terms of quality, safety, and efficacy to an already licensed reference/ innovator product and are expected to offer improved affordability. The most significant source of reduction in the cost of development of a biosimilar is the reduced clinical examination that it is expected to undergo as compared to the innovator product. However, this clinical relief is predicated on the assumption that there is analytical similarity between the biosimilar and the innovator product. As a result, establishing analytical similarity is arguably the most important step towards successful development of a biosimilar. Here, we present results from an analytical similarity exercise that was performed with five biosimilars of rituximab (Ristova®, Roche), a chimeric mouse/ human monoclonal antibody biotherapeutic, that are available on the Indian market. The results show that, while the biosimilars exhibited similarity with respect to protein structure and function, there were significant differences with respect to size heterogeneity, charge heterogeneity and glycosylation pattern.

Abstract
In this article, a combination of far field electrospinning (FFES) and free-radical polymerization has been used to create a unique platform for protein immobilization via the physical attachment of biomolecules to the surface of the fiber mats. The large specific surface area of the fibers with its tailored chemistry provides a desirable platform for effective analyte-surface interaction. The detailed analysis of protein immobilization on a newly developed bio-receptive surface plays a vital role to gauge its advantages in bio-diagnostic applications. We relied on scanning electron microscopy (SEM), diameter range analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), along with thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), water-in-air contact angle analysis (WCA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) to study our developed platforms and to provide valuable information regarding the presence of biomolecular entities on the surface. Detailed analyses of the fiber mats before and after antibody immobilization have shown obvious changes on the surface of the bioreceptive surface including: (i) an additional peak corresponding to the presence of an antibody in TGA analysis; (ii) extra FTIR peaks corresponding to the presence of antibodies on the coated fiber platforms; and (iii) a clear alteration in surface roughness recorded by AFM analysis. Confirmation analyses on protein immobilization are of great importance as they underlay substantial grounds for various biosensing applications.

Abstract
Solid lipid implants (SLIs) prepared by twin-screw (tsc) extrusion represent a promising technology platform for the sustained release of pharmaceutical proteins. In this work, we report on two aspects, long-term release and stability of released protein. First, SLIs were produced by tsc-extrusion containing the low melting triglyceride H12 and the high melting triglyceride Dynasan D118. Two different proteins available in a freeze-dried matrix containing hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrine (HP-β-CD) were incorporated into the lipid matrix: a monoclonal antibody (mAb) from the IgG1 class and the fab-fragment Ranibizumab (Lucentis®). SLIs, composed of 10% protein lyophilizate and both triglycerides, were extruded at 35°C and 40rpm. Sustained release of both proteins was observed in a sustained manner for approximately 120days. Protein load per implant was increased by three different approaches resulting in a protein load of 3.00mg per implant without affecting the release profiles. The incubation medium containing the released protein was collected, concentrated and analyzed including liquid chromatography (SE-HPLC, IEX, HIC), electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE, on-chip gel electrophoresis) and FT-IR spectroscopy. The mAb showed a monomer loss of up to 7% (SE-HPLC) and IEX analysis revealed the formation of 16% acidic subspecies after 18weeks. FT-IR spectra of mAb indicated the formation of random coil structures towards the end of the release study. Ranibizumab was mainly released in its monomeric form (>95%), and approximately 5% hydrophobic subspecies were formed after 18weeks of release. FT-IR analysis revealed no changes in secondary structure. The release and stability profiles of both proteins underline the potential of SLIs as a delivery system. SLIs provide a promising platform for applications where really long-term release is needed, for example for intraocular delivery of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drugs for age related macular degeneration (AMD).
