Protein-based drugs are becoming increasingly important, but there are challenges associated with their formulation (for example, formulating stable inhalable aerosols while maintaining the proper long-term stability of the protein). Determining the morphology of multicomponent, protein-based drug formulations is particularly challenging. Here, we use dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) solid-state NMR spectroscopy to determine the hierarchy of components within spray-dried particles containing...
[NMR paper] Ranking mAb-excipient interactions in biologics formulations by NMR spectroscopy and computational approaches
Ranking mAb-excipient interactions in biologics formulations by NMR spectroscopy and computational approaches
Excipients are added to biopharmaceutical formulations to enhance protein stability and enable the development of robust formulations with acceptable physicochemical properties, but the mechanism by which they confer stability is not fully understood. Here, we aimed to elucidate the mechanism through direct experimental evidence of the binding affinity of an excipient to a monoclonal antibody (mAb), using saturation transfer difference (STD) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)...

[NMR paper] Comprehensive Assessment of Protein and Excipient Stability in Biopharmaceutical Formulations Using (1)H NMR Spectroscopy
Comprehensive Assessment of Protein and Excipient Stability in Biopharmaceutical Formulations Using (1)H NMR Spectroscopy
Biopharmaceutical proteins are important drug therapies in the treatment of a range of diseases. Proteins, such as antibodies (Abs) and peptides, are prone to chemical and physical degradation, particularly at the high concentrations currently sought for subcutaneous injections, and so formulation conditions, including buffers and excipients, must be optimized to minimize such instabilities. Therefore, both the protein and small molecule content of biopharmaceutical...

Pairwise binding competition experiments for sorting hub-protein/effector interaction hierarchy and simultaneous equilibria
Pairwise binding competition experiments for sorting hub-protein/effector interaction hierarchy and simultaneous equilibria
Abstract
NMR experiments on proteins in simultaneous equilibria with multiple binding partners can provide a tool to understand complex biological interaction networks. Competition among proteins for binding to signaling hubs is often at the basis of the information transmission across signaling networks in every organism. Changes in affinity towards one or more partners, as well as changes of the relative concentration of the...

Authors: Bhavesh NS, Sinha R, Mohan PM, Hosur RV
Folding studies on proteases by the conventional hydrogen exchange experiments are severely hampered because of interference from the autolytic reaction in the interpretation of the exchange data. We report here NMR identification of the hierarchy of early conformational transitions (folding propensities) in HIV-1...
