In the development of biotherapeutics, a thorough understanding of a molecule’s product quality attributes (PQAs), and their effect on various structure-function relationships and long-term stability, is essential for ensuring the safety and efficacy of the product. At present, numerous routine chromatographic and electrophoretic assays are used to characterize and monitor individual PQAs. However, execution of multiple routine methods for batch release, stability time-points, and process/formulation development support becomes time and resource intensive, and often provides an indirect measure of biologically relevant PQAs. Introduced in 2015, the multi-attribute method (MAM), based on LC-MS peptide mapping and automation principles, provides simultaneous and site-specific detection, identification, quantitation, and quality control (monitoring) of PQAs. A dedicated Pfizer team has been regularly employing MAM on an in-house MAM platform to support biotherapeutic process and product development. In parallel, this team has continually explored and implemented improvements in the Pfizer MAM platform, including sample preparation and data processing automation, to move toward the next generation of MAM. Recently, a pre-commercial demo model of the new Orbitrap Exploris MX mass detector was evaluated in-house by the Pfizer MAM team. Here, the results of the evaluation and an assessment of the Orbitrap Exploris MX mass detector’s suitability as a next generation MAM instrument are presented. Key Learning Objectives: Pfizer MAM platform milestones for characterization and routine monitoring Automation of sample handling and data processing and reporting Evaluation and optimization of the Orbitrap Exploris MX mass detector for MAM Who Should Attend: Laboratory managers Chromatographers New product developers Brought to you by: Andrew W. Dawdy, Ph.D. Principal Scientist, BioTherapeutics Pharmaceutical Sciences, Pfizer, Inc. Ann Thayer Contributing Editor, C&EN Media Group

Chemistry education is more than teaching students how to use the Periodic Table, balance chemical equations, and work in a lab. Educators are responsible for mentoring and developing the next generation of scientists who are far more diverse than meets the eye. Everything from the language we use, to the way we grade and structure our lessons, to the students we favor can betray unconscious biases and learned behaviors that risk alienation of students and the loss of budding scientists to other fields. Just as it is important to keep up with the latest science as our knowledge of the world evolves through experimentation, it is equally important that we challenge our traditional teaching pedagogy as our understanding of the human experience evolves as well. Join ACS for this special Pride Month webinar with a trio of educators who are challenging the status quo in STEM education to create a more inclusive experience for all students. Discover ways to support students with intersectional identities, evaluate and overcome the traditional binary in gendered language, and learn how far we've come in the last decade in regards to the LGBTQ+ experience in STEM programs.

Accurately identifying unknowns by searching a library of GC/MS spectral data is straightforward but often yields ambiguous results. Isomeric compounds that have the same molecular formula, but different structures, can give very similar spectral signatures. In addition, peaks with co-eluting compounds can lead to inconclusive or incorrect results. Cerno’s GC/ID data processing software utilizes an advanced mixture deconvolution algorithm and then combines information from spectral libraries, retention index (RI) data, and accurate mass formula confirmation to identify unknowns on single quadrupole mass spectrometer systems. The software automatically generates RIs for detected compounds during a single or batch run, without running separate standards. Finally, it visually highlights correct identifications among a long list of possible matches. This post acquisition software works with most commercially available GC/MS systems. Key Learning Objectives: Learn how to obtain retention index automatically from your unknown sample itself Learn how to obtain accurate mass and spectral accuracy on your single quadrupole GC/MS system Learn how to combine multiple ID metrics and quickly come to a conclusive answer Learn how to make your GC/MS analysis dramatically more productive Who Should Attend: Analysts and lab managers utilizing GC/MS for qualitative or semi-quantitative analysis.

Building a more sustainable future requires research innovations, but equally important is translating that research into technical solutions for industrial manufacturers where it can have a practical impact. “Frontier Fridays” returns to explore the science that will revolutionize the future of the human race. Mark Mascal at the University of California Davis (a 2022 EPA Green Chemistry Challenge Award winner) will describe his work with Origin Materials, Inc. in developing and implementing a novel technology to replace chemicals commonly made from petroleum with products derived from forestry, agricultural and municipal wastes. This technology could change the environmental impact of the plastics industry, among others, by supplying chemical feedstocks that are both net zero-carbon and recyclable. Modern chemical manufacturing depends upon purification via chemical separations and most industrial separations are achieved with energy-intensive, thermally driven processes (e.g., distillation) that account for 10-15% of global energy usage. Dr. Ryan P. Lively at Georgia Tech will describe how his research team and collaborators developed the first polymeric membranes for crude oil fractionation, an extremely complex hydrocarbon separation process that is vital to the production of modern fuels and chemicals. This new approach could drastically reduce the energy needed for industrial separations. This ACS Webinar is moderated by Adelina Voutchkova, Director for Sustainable Development at ACS, and is co-produced with the ACS Committee on Science and the ACS Office of Sustainable Development as part of the 2022 Frontier Fridays series.

The identification of new chemical matter represents a critical step in the early stages of a drug discovery project. An increasingly broad collection of platforms are available to perform this task, some more suited to small, focused screening sets and some more adapted to very large screening sets. Recently traditional high-throughput biochemical assays with a functional read-out have been supplemented by a range of assays based on biophysical methods that address the physical interaction between ligand and protein, but are agnostic of the functional consequence (if any). In this webinar we will focus on those techniques that seek to identify small molecule binders to target proteins using such ‘affinity selection’ methods. We will discuss the current state of the art for screening of fragments, small screening collections, and ultra-large diversity collections using techniques such as NMR, affinity selection mass spectrometry, and DNA-encoded library screens. Key Learning Objectives: Review techniques that seek to identify small molecule binders to target proteins using such ‘affinity selection’ methods Explore the current state of the art for screening of fragments, small screening collections, and ultra-large diversity collections using techniques such as NMR, affinity selection mass spectrometry, and DNA-encoded library screens.

The relative abundance of empty and full AAV capsids in gene therapy vector preparations is a critical quality attribute. A variety of methods are available to perform these measurements including SEC-MALS, which combines separation by size-exclusion chromatography with detection by multi-angle light scattering, UV/Vis, and differential refractometry. However, there are relatively few reports that compare these methods. This webinar compares the outcomes of numerous orthogonal characterization methods on a single vector preparation. We find that SEC-MALS not only provides favorable performance for quality control and product development applications, but that it is uniquely situated to be established as a platform method for the semi-quantitative measurement of empty/full ratios across AAV serotypes, transgenes, and manufacturing processes. Key Learning Objectives: How SEC-MALS quantifies empty and full AAVs, as well as other attributes Are empty/full readouts from different assays comparable? Other light scattering techniques that quantify AAVs Who Should Attend: CMC teams supporting AAV-based therapies Scientists involved in AAV characterization, analytical method development, process development, and quality control Lab managers that need to select and support an optimal set of AAV characterization methods Brought to you by: Speakers: Margaret Butko Associate Director, Protein Analytical Characterization at Adverum Prithwijit Sarkar Regional Manager, Northern California, Wyatt Technology Corporation Kelly McSweeney Contributing Editor, C&EN Media Group
