INTRODUCTION
Sequence variants and posttranslational modifications
(PTMs) such as glycosylation, deamidation, and oxidation
are common in recombinant protein pharmaceuticals.
They potentially affect the safety, activity and stability of
protein drugs. Effective monitoring of such impurities and
PTMs requires sensitive and reproducible methods.
In this study, we have applied an Ultra Performance
Liquid Chromatography–Data Independent Acquisition
Mass Spectrometry (UPLC/MSE) approach for
characterization and quantification of impurity proteins
and site-specific PTMs in protein drugs. The method was
evaluated using tryptic digests of yeast enolase, alcohol
dehydrogenase (ADH), and a humanized monoclonal
antibody (IgG1). Synthetic peptides were used to 1)
further confirm the deamidations in the IgG1 “PENNY”
peptide, and distinguish aspartyl and isoaspartyl
isoforms; 2) exclude potential Met oxidation artifacts
produced in the MS ion source; and 3) test ionization
efficiency of modified peptides.

ADVANTAGES OF LC/MSE
● Unbiased data acquisition
● Unbiased sampling of low-abundance peptides
● Improved detection sensitivity
● Suited for quantification via MS signal intensities
● Excellent reproducibility
● Improved analytical speed and efficiency
CONCLUSIONS
1.1.1.1. UPLC/MSE analysis of protein tryptic digests yielded qualitative and
quantitative information about protein impurities and the presence of protein
modifications.
2.2.2.2. Unbiased data acquisition with UPLC/MSE provides high sequence coverage,
especially for peptides with low-stoichiometry modfications (<0.5%).
3.3.3.3. Reproducible high resolution UPLC peptide separations ensured confident
identification of isobaric modifications with sub Da mass differences (e.g.,
single and double Asn-deamidated peptides)
4.4.4.4. Synthetic peptides were helpful for distinguishing modified peptides isoforms,
and evaluating the ionization efficiency of peptides and their modified forms.

Peptides identified by UPLC/MSE covered 97% of Enolase protein sequence. MSE data also identified
peaks corresponding to protein impurities , partial/Non-tryptic peptides, and modified peptides.
