This article presents two case studies regarding the characterization of protein-DNA complexes using two complementary multi-angle light scattering (MALS) techniques, namely size-exclusion chromatography (SEC–MALS) to determine absolute molar mass of each component, and composition-gradient MALS (CG–MALS) to quantify stoichiometry and affinity at binding sites in solution.

Within the broad scope of analytical techniques required to characterize a protein, chromatographic methods have shifted towards high-flow analyses that can drop development time significantly. However, fast analytical methods for charge heterogeneity have lagged in development because current column technologies are ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC)-incompatible. This article will demonstrate the development of a high-flow method for charge variant analysis made possible through a bioinert titanium column flow path.

Carcinogen-containing compounds can develop through some manufacturing processes, such as in the malting process for beer. It is critical to analyze the nitrosamine content in any consumed products as well as monitor the final product. Thermal energy analysis (TEA) is able to quickly identify and analyze N-Nitro, N-nitroso, and nitrogen-containing compounds. This article describes the importance of monitoring these compounds.
