INTRODUCTION
In the area of peptide and protein drug products, interfaces are present as part of the basic liquid formulation, when freeze-dried formulations are reconstituted and when particulate delivery systems are prepared. Proteins are known to interact with these interfaces, and the effects seen are often irreversible adsorption and structural changes.
AREAS COVERED
This review focuses on the ways in which peptides and proteins interact with surfaces and interfaces, and the effect these… CONTINUE READING
