What is Natural Selection?01:32

What is Natural Selection?

129.2K
Natural selection is an evolutionary process in which individuals with survival-promoting traits reproduce at higher rates. These favorable traits become more common within a population or species. Naturally selected traits initially arise via random genetic mutations. In order for selection to occur, there must be variation within a population, the trait controlling the variation must be heritable, and there must be an evolutionary advantage for variation in the trait.

Types of Selection

45.0K
Natural selection influences the frequencies of particular alleles and phenotypes within populations in several different ways. Primarily, natural selection can be directional, stabilizing, or disruptive. Directional selection favors one extreme trait and shifts the population towards that phenotype while selecting against individuals displaying alternate traits. Stabilizing selection favors an intermediate trait with a narrow range of variation. Deviation from the optimal phenotype towards an...

Frequency-dependent Selection01:21

Frequency-dependent Selection

24.1K
When the fitness of a trait is influenced by how common it is (i.e., its frequency) relative to different traits within a population, this is referred to as frequency-dependent selection. Frequency-dependent selection may occur between species or within a single species. This type of selection can either be positive—with more common phenotypes having higher fitness—or negative, with rarer phenotypes conferring increased fitness.

Production Efficiency01:01

Production Efficiency

18.3K
Net production efficiency (NPE) is the efficiency at which organisms assimilate energy into biomass for the next trophic level. Due to low metabolic rates and less energy spent on thermoregulatory processes, the NPE of ectotherms (cold-blooded animals) is 10 times higher than endotherms (warm-blooded animals).

Trophic Efficiency00:46

Trophic Efficiency

25.2K
Trophic level transfer efficiency (TLTE) is a measure of the total energy transfer from one trophic level to the next. Due to extensive energy loss as metabolic heat, an average of only 10% of the original energy obtained is passed on to the next level. This pattern of energy loss severely limits the possible number of trophic levels in a food chain.

Area of Science:

  • Bioconjugation Chemistry
  • Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
  • Drug Substance Process Development

Background:

  • Besponsa (inotuzumab) is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) utilizing a linker-payload.
  • The bioconjugation process involves linking a calicheamicin derivative to a monoclonal antibody.
  • Surfactants play a role in optimizing the efficiency of such conjugation reactions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of surfactants in the bioconjugation process of Besponsa.
  • To understand how micelle formation by surfactants impacts conjugation efficiency.
  • To explore how surfactant properties influence site selectivity in ADC conjugation.

Main Methods:

  • Screening of various surfactants (e.g., sodium decanoate, sodium dodecyl sulfate, sodium deoxycholate, dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide).
  • Analysis of micelle formation by sodium decanoate under conjugation conditions.
  • Evaluation of conjugation efficiency and site selectivity based on surfactant type and concentration.

Main Results:

  • Sodium decanoate forms critical micelles that facilitate efficient bioconjugation.
  • Other tested surfactants also showed potential to facilitate the conjugation reaction.
  • Surfactant charge and linker payload choice significantly influence the selectivity of lysine conjugation sites.
  • Besponsa exhibits conjugation at eight major lysine sites, unlike conventional ADCs with ~80 sites.

Conclusions:

  • Micelle-forming surfactants are essential for efficient antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) bioconjugation.
  • Optimizing surfactant selection and concentration can enhance conjugation efficiency.
  • Controlling surfactant properties allows for targeted lysine site conjugation, leading to more homogeneous ADCs like Besponsa.
