Subvisible particle identification in protein-based formulations by Raman spectroscopy

29 June 2017 | By , ,

Subvisible particles in protein-based formulations can have different origins. Particles can be extrinsic (unexpected foreign material), intrinsic (from the production environment or primary packaging), and inherent (from the formulation). It is important that inherent particles (protein agglomerates) are distinguished from the other two types and that the extrinsic and intrinsic…

A history of recombinant protein technology in small molecule drug discovery

28 October 2014 | By Rick Davies, Associate Director, AstraZeneca / Ian Hardern, Senior Research Scientist, AstraZeneca / Ross Overman, Associate Principal Scientist, AstraZeneca

Recombinant protein production is a prerequisite and essential component of most modern small molecule drug discovery programs. Target proteins are required to underpin screening, structural and mechanistic studies providing data that drives chemical design. From the initial establishment of recombinant protein production in the pharmaceutical industry in the 1980s, systems…
