Quantitation and speciation of residual protein within active pharmaceutical ingredients using image analysis with SDS-PAGE

Recent advances in biocatalysis and directed enzyme evolution has led to a variety of enzymatically-driven, elegant processes for active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) production. For biocatalytic processes, quantitation of any residual protein within a given API is of great importance to ensure process robustness and quality, pure pharmaceutical products. Typical analytical methods for analyzing residual enzymes within an API, such as...
