Abstract
Aggregation or reversible self-association of protein therapeutics can arise through a number of different mechanisms. Five common aggregation mechanisms are described and their relations to manufacturing processes to suppress and remove aggregates are discussed.

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
