The majority of biotherapeutic proteins
contain glycans. Glycans are sugars
which are attached to the biotherapeutic
compound i.e. they are glycosylated.
Glycans are crucial for the function of the
proteins and any changes or alterations,
however small, can impact the performance
and efficacy of the biotherapeutic.
Regulatory bodies therefore mandate that
full glycosylation characterization is carried
out to determine the full pattern and confirm
that the protein works as expected. As
glycans can exist in both a released form
and attached to the protein, multiple,
complex measurements
can be required.
