Structure based descriptors for the estimation of colloidal interactions and protein aggregation propensities.

The control of protein aggregation is an important requirement in the development of bio-pharmaceutical formulations. Here a simple protein model is proposed that was used in molecular dynamics simulations to obtain a quantitative assessment of the relative contributions of proteins' net-charge...

description The control of protein aggregation is an important requirement in the development of bio-pharmaceutical formulations.
