A CGE method for monitoring the disulfide isomer distribution characteristic of IgG2 MAbs is presented. Disulfide heterogeneity of MAbs has been studied using various chromatographic and electrophoretic methods. Although CGE operates using a different selectivity mechanism from that of sorption chromatographic techniques, similar trends are present in the data, which allow the CGE method to be used as a complementary method for studying disulfide isomer distribution. This article focuses on the optimization of a capillary-based gel electrophoresis method that can be used to support antibody development including bioprocess optimization, antibody characterization, release, and formulation stability assessment.

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are a promising drug modality substantially expanding in both the discovery space and clinical development. Assessing the biotransformation of ADCs and is important in understanding their stability and pharmacokinetic properties. We previously reported biotransformation pathways for the anti-B7H4 topoisomerase I inhibitor ADC, AZD8205, puxitatug samrotecan, that underpin its structural stability using an intact protein liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) approach.

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS) is a notable two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) with properties ideal for nanoelectronic and optoelectronic applications. With growing interest in the material, it is critical to understand its layer-number-dependent properties and develop strategies for controlling them. Here, we demonstrate a photo-modulation of MoS flakes and elucidate layer-number-dependent charge transfer behaviors.

Thiolate-bridged bimetallic complexes have attracted considerable attention owing to their extensive applications in bioinspired catalysis as biological metalloenzymes. Compared with bimetallic complexes supported by common thiolate ligands, those featuring functional groups that may adopt different patterns to coordinate to the metal centers are usually difficult to access, limiting their exploration. The benzimidazole moiety is a multi-faceted functional group; for example, it can act as a biomolecule-responsive ligand for the development of transition metal complexes with anticancer and antitumor properties.

Comprehensive in-depth structural characterization of free mono-unsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids often requires the determination of carbon-carbon double bond positions due to their impact on physiological properties and relevance in biological samples or during impurity profiling of pharmaceuticals. In this research, we report on the evaluation of disulfides as suitable derivatization reagents for the determination of carbon-carbon double bond positions of unsaturated free fatty acids by UHPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS/MS analysis and SWATH (sequential windowed acquisition of all theoretical mass spectra) acquisition. Iodine-catalyzed derivatization of C = C double bonds with dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) enabled detection of characteristic carboxy-terminal MS2 fragments for various fatty acids in ESI negative mode.

This study employs ab initio molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the impact of solvent and noncovalent interactions on the structure-reactivity relationship of both strain-free and strained macrocyclic disulfides. Our findings reveal that interactions with water as a solvent significantly influence the minimum energy geometry structures of both conformers of the studied macrocycle. In particular, our simulations identify short contacts, specifically S⋅⋅⋅π-aromatic interactions, which suppress reactivity for the strained isomer by obstructing the reaction cone at the minimum free energy.
