Steps followed in this scheme to develop viscosity prediction algorithm. Analogous schemes can be used to develop predict viscosity behaviors of antibodies for different formulations (different buffers, excipients and pH).
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| I | Collect concentration dependent viscosity curves for different antibodies in the same buffer under the same formulation conditions following the same experimental protocol by performing experiments |
| II | Build full-length homology models of those antibodies in step I |
| III | Computationally estimate various descriptors listed in Table 3 |
| IV | Fit the concentration dependent viscosity behavior observed in step 1 to the Eq. 3 to identify the intercept and slope parameters |
| V | Perform linear regression of the slope parameter (response variable) with the descriptors identified in step IV (predictor variables) |
