one such PTM: protein
glycosylation, which is
the attachment of
carbohydrates to a
protein structure. It
has been recognized
that protein
glycosylation can be a
critical quality
attribute for proteins
used for discovery and
biotherapeutics, as it
often plays a key role in
the efficacy, safety,
stability and
functionality of the
protein. We are
working to better
understand and
document the role of
raw materials in the
variability and control
of this process.
Additionally, we are
working with
biopharmaceutical
researchers and
manufacturers to
better understand how
trace elemental
impurities can impact
the glycosylation
pattern. Quality and
consistency of raw
materials is critical for
managing the quality
