Conclusion
An LC-MS/MS workflow was developed for differentiating minor difference of protein structure in
biosimilar and reference products. This workflow provides qualitative and quantitative comparison
of a biosimilar to a reference product.

1. 100% sequence coverage was obtained for all the nine data files analyzed. A five order
magnitude dynamic range for identified peptide abundance was achieved.
2. The identified covalent modifications, both expected and unexpected, include cysteine alkylation,
deamidation, overalkyation, Cys+DTT, oxidation, formylation, glycation. Relative abundance of
the modified forms was calculated and a comparison between files was generated.
