Glycosylation plays a crucial role in determining the pharmacological properties of biotherapeutics. The molecular heterogeneity of glycosylated biotherapeutics makes it difficult to provide thorough characterization of intact glycoproteins by mass spectrometry. Current methods for analyzing biotherapeutics only measure fragments of the compound or rely on partial digestion of the glycans to reduce sample complexity. These limitations pose important risks and challenges for biotechnology companies that need to report human-compatible and consistent glycosylation, critical for drug safety and efficacy.     We will present a new approach to glycoform fingerprinting that uses proton-transfer charge-reduction with gas-phase fractionation to analyze intact glycoproteins by mass spectrometry. The method provides a detailed landscape of the intact molecular weights present in biotherapeutic protein preparations in a single experiment and offers insights into glycoform composition when coupled with a suitable bioinformatic strategy. In addition, we highlight the application of charge detection native mass spectrometry (Direct Mass Technology mode) towards the elucidation of masses and aggregation of heterogeneous glycosylated biotherapeutics.    Key Learning Objectives: How to elucidate masses from heterogeneous glycosylated biotheraputics  Learn how proton transfer charge reduction (PTCR) can simplify complex protein mixtures  Learn when to use PTCR based methods compared to Direct Mass Technology mode for analysis of biotherapeutics  Who Should Attend: Laboratory Managers  Biopharmaceutical Researchers  Protein Scientists  Brought to you by: Speakers: Wendy Sandoval Director, Translational Mass Spectrometry, Genentech Ann Thayer Contributing Editor, C&EN Media Group

DNA-encoded library (DEL) technology has proven to be a powerful tool for drug discovery. There are now several DEL-derived candidates in clinical stage. DEL enables researchers to explore vast chemical space with millions to billions of compounds with low cost, limited time and minimal effort.     Scientists in both industry and academics are both trying to further expand the utility of DEL. WuXi AppTec has been practicing DELopen collaborations with many university researchers with free DEL kits. This has significantly spread the DEL compounds into many drug discovery labs and accelerated the research process. WuXi AppTec has also been providing DEL kit services for our industrial partners to help them implement DEL as one of the benchtop drug discovery tools.    However, to fully promote DEL screening ideas to the next level, it would not be sufficient to just distribute DEL compounds into the lab. The standardization of the screening procedure is paramount. Given that a DEL screen needs several rounds of experiments to enrich the compounds, it is vital to lower the contamination and human error in operation to a negligible level for a qualified screen.    WuXi AppTec has profound DEL screening experience on a wide spectrum of proteins. With the combination of the automatic system, WuXi AppTec has released the first automatic DEL screening device - DELman.

Recently there has been increased interest in screening chemical libraries for non-covalent or covalent binding to RNA or protein drug discovery targets using native conditions. Solution phase binding with native targets and test compounds avoids potential compromises inherent to assays based on labeled or immobilized components. In this webinar, we will describe simple, automated, and high throughput workflows utilizing mass spectrometry (MS) to measure drug candidate binding. Two workflows will be described in detail: 1) non-covalent/reversible binding by Affinity Selection Mass Spectrometry (ASMS) and 2) covalent/irreversible binding by intact mass shift assays.    Both methodologies facilitate the efficient interrogation of large data sets in a high-throughput manner followed by further hit candidate characterization. These MS-based assay methods are applicable to many different classes of targets and therapeutic areas, for example: RNA and protein degraders, RNA as a novel drug target, molecular glues and protein-protein interactions. Some of the advantages of this methodology over other drug target binding assay methods are minimal target quantity and assay development is required, protocol flexibility, target versatility, and primary hits are immediately identified and available for further confirmation and follow-up experiments (i.e., K inact /K i  measurements, peptide mapping, quantitative proteomics, etc.).    Key Learning Objectives: Understand how and when to use the ASMS & intact mass shift workflows for drug discovery screening Learn about the advantages of native molecule mass spectrometry binding assays versus other methodologies Learn how to utilize mass spectrometry for hit follow-up confirmation and characterization Who Should Attend: Scientists interested in drug discovery screening, especially binding assays Pharma/Biopharma VPs, Directors, and team leaders looking to improve the success rate and speed to results of their drug discovery binding assays Brought to you by: Speakers: Can Ozbal Founder & CEO, Momentum Biotechnologies William LaMarr Senior VP Research & Development, Momentum Biotechnologies Melissa O'Meara Forensic Science Consultant, C&EN Media Group

Designed Experiments (DOEs) are the most efficient way to learn about a system. So, why isn’t everybody using DOE? Common responses to this question are “I first want to get a feel for this system” or “it wouldn’t work in this situation”. If this is something that you have heard, or tell yourself, join the experts from JMP to learn how DOE has evolved to allow for custom experiments that can unlock insights into complex systems.   DOE is a structured approach to study the relationships between multiple input factors and key outputs. This sounds like something any scientist would want to use, but most experimental approaches explore one-factor-at-a-time. This method appears structured but often results in not finding true relations between variables or misleading results.   During the session, learn how DOE successfully overcame several diverse chemical industry situations that resulted in time and resource savings, scientific breakthroughs, and financial benefits.     Key Learning Objectives:   Screening designs for understanding complex polymerization kinetics Specialized designs for evaluating raw materials used in consumer product formulations DOEs that optimize pharmaceutical and resin formulations A new class of Designs that can optimize chromatography method development   Who Should Attend:   Product developers R&D leaders Scientists and Engineers Formulation chemists Process engineers Analytical chemists   Brought to you by: Speakers:     Monique Roerdink Lander Systems Engineer JMP Statistical Discovery     Scott Allen Senior Systems Engineer JMP Statistical Discovery     Melissa O'Meara Forensic Science Consultant, C&EN Media Group
