  Biological drugs, also known as biologics, are medications derived from living organisms. Unlike traditional small molecule drugs, which are chemically synthesized, biologics are produced using biotechnology methods, such as recombinant DNA technology or protein engineering. They are used to treat various medical conditions, including autoimmune diseases, cancer, and rare genetic disorders. Biologics are often administered through injection or infusion, and they have become an increasingly important part of modern medicine. In general, therapeutic proteins exhibit high molecular complexity, making them sensitive to various environmental factors, such as temperature, light, and pH. Even minor changes can cause the biologic to become unstable, leading to decreased efficacy or harmful side effects. Therefore, proper analytical characterization and usage of state-of-the-art techniques allow for mitigating potential risks. Mass spectrometry (MS) has become an essential tool for...
