Protein glycation is a common, normally innocuous, post-translational modification in therapeutic monoclonal antibodies. However, when glycation occurs on complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) of a therapeutic monoclonal antibody, its biological activities (e.g., potency) may be impacted. Here, we present a comprehensive approach to understanding the mechanism of protein glycation using a bispecific antibody. Cation exchange chromatography and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry were used to characterize glycation at a lysine residue within a heavy chain (HC) CDR (HC-CDR3-Lys98) of a bispecific antibody. Thermodynamic analysis revealed that this reaction is reversible and can occur under physiological conditions with an apparent affinity of 8-10 mM for a glucose binding to HC-CDR3-Lys98. Results from kinetic analysis demonstrated that this reaction follows Arrhenius behavior in the temperature range of 5°C-45°C and can be well predicted in vitro and in a non-human primate. In addition, this glycation reaction was found to be driven by an unusually low pK |
