Large molecule quantitation by LC-MS/MS commonly relies on bottom-up or so-called surrogate peptide measurements to infer the whole-molecule concentration. This can lead to questions about what is actually being measured in the assay (intact drug and/or other drug related material). An intact sequential affinity capture (ISAC) assay was developed utilizing two different immunoaffinity (IA) reagents. The reagents were selective for the heavy and light chain of a monoclonal antibody, which when used consecutively, ensures that only the intact form of the antibody is represented by the surrogate peptide. The approach provided comparable results to a traditional sandwich IA assay indicating similar capture populations. The use of an initial ISAC assessment of affinity capture purification, should add a degree of confidence in the use of a single IA-LC-MS/MS quantitation assay.

Accurate prediction of ligand-receptor binding affinity is crucial in structure-based drug design, significantly impacting the development of effective drugs. Recent advances in machine learning (ML)-based scoring functions have improved these predictions, yet challenges remain in modeling complex molecular interactions. This study introduces the AGL-EAT-Score, a scoring function that integrates extended atom-type multiscale weighted colored subgraphs with algebraic graph theory.

Exosomes, the bioactive particles secreted by various cells, are essential in mediating cellular communication. However, their small size and the interference from non-exosome proteins present significant hurdles for their rapid and non-destructive capture and release. To overcome these obstacles, a promising strategy to efficiently and selectively isolate exosomes from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is developed by using CD63 aptamer-conjugated magnetic nanoparticles (FeO-Aptamer).

Protein A chromatography represents the most prevalent methodology for the capture of monoclonal antibodies. The use of a low pH elution buffer from Protein A has been observed to contribute to product aggregation, particularly in the case of IgG4 antibodies, such as nivolumab. This paper presents a well-defined strategy for addressing this issue.

Efficient capture of TcO/ReO via node and linker bifunctional anion exchange covalent organic frameworks.

J Hazard Mater

In nuclear wastewater treatment, ion-scavenging materials designed to trap TcO is urgently needed. However, strong acid/base, high radiation and high salt concentration of nuclear wastewater usually result in inadequate stability and adsorption capacity of the adsorbent. Herein, we report a new class of bifunctional anion-exchange olefin-linked COF (BPDC-MTMP) prepared via Knoevenagel condensation reactions, the first example exploring the synergistic integration of positively charged fragments at both nodes and linkers.
