The efficacy of therapeutic antibodies is defined by their primary amino acid sequence. After discovery, antibody candidates often profit from protein engineering and sequence optimisation. Different technologies can improve the functional properties of antibodies as well as their biochemical and biophysical characteristics influencing manufacturing, process development, formulation, and other parameters of the final drug target product profile.
Biologicals have shown significant success for more complex diseases, whereas small molecule drugs have not been that effective. New biologicals are mostly highly purified proteins or antibodies, which require the development of technologies for the preparation of a large number of drug candidates with high purity and speed. A high throughput magnetic beads-based system is a game-changer for biologics discovery.
