Monolithic Papain-Immobilized Enzyme Reactors for Automated Structural Characterization of Monoclonal Antibodies
The characterization of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) requires laborious and time-consuming sample preparation steps before the liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis. Middle-up approaches entailing the use of specific proteases (papain, IdeS, etc.) emerged as practical and informat...
