Developments and applications of chemical characterization of biopharmaceuticals

The aim of the study: Understanding the behaviour and function of biomolecules at the molecular level is the key to the discovery and development of new drugs, as well as diagnostic techniques. The characterization of biological drugs, where therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are placed, poses many challenges compared to those of low-molecular mass drugs because of their inherent complexity due to their protein nature. Achievements in this field of science have changed the way that drugs are being designed and developed nowadays.
