Glycans are complex, making it hard to exploit their therapeutic possibilities. However, promising new tools and methodologies are available to tackle the most pressing questions, such as:
- How to characterize the complex carbohydrate
structure of glycoproteins so we can better understand the relationship between various glycoforms and different diseases?
- How to develop analytical tools to support development of
therapeutic glycoproteins and effectively use them to ensure product quality and consistency?
- After deciding on a target compound - what are the next steps?
- What are the weaknesses and strengths of analytical tools used?
- How can you compare various methods?
- How do you turn your investment in glycoproteins and carbohydrates into a success story?
