Surface and molecular attributes of mAbA, mAbB and mAbC. Molecular weights of mAbA, mAbB and mAbC were determined by analyzing the monomer peak eluted from a size exclusion chromatography column using a miniDawn TREOS MALS detector. Partial molar volume of the antibodies was determined by performing a densimetry assay as a function of antibody concentration in 25 mM Na-acetate buffer at pH 5.5 at 20°C. Total point charges were determined by summing the predicted point charges of solvent accessible residues at pH 5.5 using a homology model of mAbA, mAbB and mAbC. The surface aggregation propensity (SAP) score which is a measure of the surface hydrophobicity of mAb molecules was calculated using molecular dynamics simulations.

mAbA | 150.3 ± 0.4 | 104.6 ± 0.003 | 151 | 113 | +38 | 577 ± 8 |
mAbB | 143.8 ± 0.1 | 103.6 ± 0.02 | 157 | 116 | +41 | 581 ± 4 |
mAbC | 144.9 ± 0.1 | 103.7 ± 0.01 | 145 | 115 | +30 | 677 ± 5 |
