Analysis of Biomolecules
Advances in proteomics and genomics have led to a greater emphasis on the analysis and characterization of biomolecules such as phosphopeptides, monoclonal antibodies, proteins, and SiRNa. There are many analytical technologies available for the determination of the chemical purity, aggregation, physical characteristics, and conformational state of biomolecules as well as studying how the folding/stability of these biomolecules impact biological function. This symposium will discuss the current state of application of these technologies and strategies for analysis of biomolecules from both an academic and pharmaceutical perspective.
