A critical component of the biopharmaceutical development process is the creation of a formulation to protect proteins from various mechanical and thermal stressors that occur during manufacturing, storage and transport. In non-optimized formulations, stressors cause protein degradation which can render the biopharmaceutical ineffective and possibly harmful to patients. For this reason, researchers are starting to...Read More
Biopharmaceutical companies isolate many types of proteins for use in experimental and therapeutic medicines. Unfortunately, when removed from their native environments, proteins become less stable. Unstable proteins are more prone to degradation from the primary stress mechanisms: mechanical and thermal (from manufacturing, storage and transport) and biological (from drug delivery). The challenge for biopharmaceutical companies...Read More
