Direct Analysis of Glycosylated Therapeutics
Thursday, October 19, 2023
Register
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

No Compromises, Native Molecule Drug Discovery Assays Using Mass Spectrometry
Thursday, November 30, 2023
Register
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

SESSION 1: Standardizing environmental microplastics measurement
Tuesday, May 7, 2024
Register
Increasing interest in microplastics in the environment has resulted in how microplastics may be regulated in this arena.  These initiatives may occur at various levels and by various organizations, from international (e.g., European Chemical Agency, ISO documents) to national and subnational (e.g., federal and state efforts in the U.S.).  They all require standardization of monitoring methods.   This presentation will provide an overview of the state of standardization, and challenges thereof, for microplastics measurement in the aquatic environment, from collection to extraction to quantification (e.g., by spectroscopic analysis).  Particular emphasis is placed on efforts within the State of California, which is the first jurisdiction to require monitoring for microplastics.   Key Learning Objectives:   Progress towards standardized methods and testing requirements  What progress has been made in the development of standardized methodologies for microplastics in North America? What are some of the key challenges that remain in the implementation of these? How might these developments impact other areas and the potential for the implementation of regulations?   Who Should Attend:   Microplastics researchers Microplastics analysts from commercial, QA, or research labs seeking to understand key challenges in Microplastics analysis. Those interested in the contamination of wastewater, seawater, freshwater, air, sediments, and food (such as fish, shellfish, crustaceans, and bottled water)   Brought to you by: Speakers:     Charles Wong Department Head, Chemistry, Southern California Coastal Water Research Project Authority     Ann Thayer Contributing Editor C&EN Media Group

Beyond Ion Exchange: Advancing Wastewater Treatment in Metal Finishing
Tuesday, May 14, 2024
Register
The metal-finishing industry faces the ongoing challenge of managing wastewater effectively, especially when treating dissolved metals such as copper and hexavalent chromium. These metals pose significant environmental risks and introduce compliance and financial challenges. Traditional ion exchange and chemical precipitation methods exhibit limitations in selectively targeting specific metals and rely on hazardous chemical handling and secondary waste product treatment.  Both methods have limited effectiveness with increased metal concentrations, competing ions' presence, and dissolved solids' overall concentration.   Join James Landon, Chief Technology Officer at ElectraMet, as he introduces an innovative solution to conventional dissolved metal approaches, employing an electrochemical process to efficiently remove or convert dissolved metals. Beyond treatment, both sustainability and operational optimization hinge on real-time data. Learn how online Process Analyzer Technology (PAT) can revolutionize wastewater management, offering precise, real-time monitoring and analysis.   Key Learning Objectives:   Understand how the innovative electrochemical process overcomes challenges in metal finishing. Learn how real-time monitoring and analysis can optimize the wastewater treatment process Learn how integrating electrochemical processes with PAT can transform wastewater into revenue   Who Should Attend:   Process Engineers looking to optimize wastewater treatment processes or who are looking to implement PAT in their metal finishing lines Sustainability and Operations Managers tasked with implementing eco-friendly practices within their organizations and overseeing the day-to-day operations of metal finishing lines Environmental Compliance Officers tasked with ensuring their facilities meet regulatory standards for wastewater Wastewater Treatment Consultants advising on wastewater management strategies   Brought to you by: Speakers:     James Landon, PhD Chief Technology Officer and Co-founder,  PowerTech Water, Inc.     Brett Lane Senior Chemist, Metrohm USA     Ann Thayer Contributing Editor C&EN Media Group
