Abstract
Efficient development of stable formulations of protein pharmaceuticals requires an intimate knowledge of the protein and its chemical and physical properties. In particular, understanding the mechanisms by which a protein could degrade is critical for designing and testing formulations. This review describes the major pathways by which proteins can degrade, including denaturation, aggregation, oxidation, and interfacial damage. The methods to detect the degradation are covered, along with generalized strategies to retard or prevent each type of decomposition. Without an appreciation of the current best practices for devising stable formulations, the formulation process will be neither efficient nor optimal.

Artificial Intelligence in Bioinformatics
Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field that analyzes and explores biological data. This field combines biology and information system. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has attracted great attention as it tries to replicate human intelligence. It has become common technology for analyzing and solving complex data and problems and encompasses sub-fields of machine ...read more
