Conformational analysis is becoming more critical in the development of generic biopharmaceuticals. This book describes methods used to establish comparability between potentially identical products, providing researchers with a critical description of studies drawn from the current literature. The text covers physical methods, such as differential scanning calorimetry, light scanning, and analytical ultracentrifugation, as well as chemical methods, including hydrogen¿deuterium exchange and trace labeling. The author shows how these methods support comparability claims for generic biologicals and assure structural integrity of active pharmaceutical ingredients in final drug products.

A comprehensive assessment of the use of biomarkers in diagnostics and prognostics, this book covers the history and current application of biomarkers, explores the technology used for the validation and study of biomarkers, and compares the various technologies used to identify and measure biomarkers. It investigates the evolution of the underlying technology and discusses the translation of basic science to clinical laboratory use and potential commercial applications. He also covers proteomics and proteomic technologies and their applications in the identification of biomarkers.

Discussing the role of plasma proteins in current biotechnology, this book describes the protein composition of human plasma, the fractionation of plasma to obtain therapeutic proteins, and the analysis of these products. It delineates the path from plasma products to recombinant products, and highlights products from albumin, intravenous immunoglobins, and coagulation. It offers a comprehensive review of current techniques for the analysis of proteins including electrophoresis, chromatography, spectrophotometry, and mass spectrometry, as well as updates not published since 1975.

Includes chapters on the use of classical protein chemistry in food, the protein and carbohydrate chemistry of adhesives, glues and sealants, protein chemistry and hydrogels, and the use of chemical modification to prepare protein therapeutics. This book also demonstrates use and the development of biotech applications.
