• specific interaction
with protein
• inhibition of a
degradation pathway

Empirical vs rational approaches
Proteins exhibit a wide range of degradation phenomena.
Protein stability depends on many parameters.
Profiling and optimization of protein stability remains a combination of trail-and-error and rational approaches.

g C Understanding of
factors (intrinsic and extrisic) critical to a protein stability on the molecular level is needed for implementaion of the rational approach to optimization of protein stability
![Page 8: Use of ITC DSC for the studies of biomolecular stability ...€¦ · Control - 48.1 Sugars Manitol Glucose 46.7 49.6 Polymers / Polyols PEG (300) Ethanol Ethanol 49.4 48.7 43.8 Salts](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050419/5f8ef6289130e65adb11373a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Every single technique has limitations associated with the underlying measuring principles. The results can be model and method dependent.
Convergence of evidence from several techniques is often needed to gain insights into conditions critical to protein stability and to deduce the mechanism of protein-excipient interaction
Need for orthogonal approach: No single technique works well in all cases

• Tm is the thermal transition midpoint
• ∆H, ∆HvH, ∆Cp
• Tonset - unfolding start

Conclusions
Profiling and optimization of protein stability is a complex task which needs to be approached by several orthogonal techniques.
Application of ITC and DSC can help in most steps of Biopharmaceutical development from initial selection and optimization of the leads, to formulation and QC.
As first principle biophysical techniques ITC and DSC can deliver insightful details on protein stability profile and protein-ligand interactions.
DSC is well suited for smaller scale buffer/excipient screens, DSF assay validations and in-depth characterization of protein and protein-ligand interactions.
