7. Mechanism for Signaling
Several types of molecule

8. Effect in the body
Small molecule rarely elict secondary signaling thus effect prevail until
drug adhere to the target site whereas in case of large molecule
always elict an secondary signaling hence effect remain even after
the drug is eliminated.

15. Biopharma
Biopharmaceutical are protein with considerable therapeutic structural
diversity. They tend to between 100 to 1000 times larger than traditional
small molecule drug .
Such complex protein can't be produced using convential chemical
synthesis rather than in a living cell under stringently controlled condition.

•An ion in a compact-form has a high mobility, and hence shorter drift time,
•The same ion in a more open conformation has a lower mobility, and hence a
longer drift time

Selected Peptides (parent ions) are fragmented in the of a nebulizing
neutral gas. Energy imparted by collision breaks the covalent bond in
parent bonds.
y & b-type ions series thus generated can give us the sequence of the

51. Data processing
Using a software product designed to facilitate MS and LCMS analysis of
biopharmaceutical samples
Intact proteins: Comparison of an entire protein(s) against a well-
characterized standard. Identification of differences, and variants that
require further investigation (some could be contaminants).
Peptide map: Comparison of the peptides resulting from a digested
protein against the peptides from the known standard. Identification of
differences in protein coverage, modifications,…

52. What software Does
Automates data processing and annotation of experimental
results Produces annotated spectra, chromatograms,
coverage maps and tabular data
Facilitates comparisons between a reference standard and
batches of experimental samples
Outputs include formal reports, figure copy/paste, and tabular
data export Frees users to concentrate on important questions

If high energy data are available (acquisition with MSE mode), the
