New York, United States - December 22, 2022 /MarketersMEDIA/ —

Pronalyse is a subdivision of Creative Proteomics, an integrated CRO company with rich experience in providing drug development services. Based on years of experience supporting protein characterization research, Creative Proteomics Pronalyse introduces hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry to help scientists accelerate the study of advanced protein structures.

HDX-MS (hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry) technology is a mass spectrometry technique for studying the spatial conformation of proteins. The principle of this technique is to immerse protein molecules in a deuterium-containing aqueous solution and exchange amide hydrogens of the protein molecule with deuterium atoms from the solution at different rates. This process depends on the protein configuration to a certain extent, and the hydrogen-deuterium exchange rate of protein fragments is determined by mass spectrometry so as to obtain information regarding the spatial structure of the protein as well as interpret the degree of activity of different sites.

Hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry can quickly elucidate the amino acid sequence of the protein surface in a natural solution, so it has a wide range of applications in the study of protein epitopes, also known as antibody-binding sites. Since the hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry relies on the principle of hydrogen-deuterium atom exchange, the backcrossing of hydrogen-deuterium atoms will greatly impact the accuracy of experimental results. At present, the backcrossing of hydrogen and deuterium atoms is mainly controlled by shortening the liquid mass analytical period and controlling the temperature and pH to achieve the lowest backcrossing reaction coefficient.

For advanced protein structure studies, hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) has become an indispensable technology for biotechnology companies. Technological innovations in HDX-MS-related LC-MS, automation, and informatics have enabled it to evolve from scientific research to a robust industrial tool for protein drug discovery.

Creative Proteomics’ HDX-MS technology is suitable for various applications, including the study of protein-drug binding, protein-protein interactions, epitope mapping, protein conformation and dynamics, aggregation due to dosage forms, and changes in configuration positioning caused by stability, etc.

“The HDX technology enabled mass spectrometry to open a new window for the study of biomolecular dynamics by providing the relative deuterium content of different configurations or positions in proteins. Recent continuous development by combining HDX with mass spectrometry has revealed advanced capability and made it an important tool for studying the higher-order structure (HOS) dynamics of biotherapeutics. Not to mention the increasingly favored industry and regulatory trends in elucidating the configuration and relationships between biomolecules, making HDX a key tool of choice in the field of biotherapeutic analysis,” stated Pronalyse’s project manager.

Raising connected kids

Sep 21, 2026

For many parents today, handing a child a first mobile phone feels like a milestone wrapped in mixed emotions. On one hand, it offers reassurance. A quick message after school, a call during an emergency or an easier way to coordinate family schedules can provide peace of mind. On the other, it opens the door to a digital world children are navigating at increasingly younger ages. As online learning, messaging, streaming and gaming become part of everyday childhood, parents face an important question: How can they give their children the independence they need while still providing proper guidance? The answer may lie not in limiting technology altogether, but in introducing it thoughtfully and building healthy digital habits together. Children need to understand that having a mobile phone comes with responsibilities, from managing their data and screen time to choosing appropriate content and communicating safely online. Parents, meanwhile, need practical ways to remain involved without constantly hovering over their children’s digital activities. One option available to families is Globe’s GPlan Junior, a postpaid line designed for dependents ages 7 to 20. Offered as an additional line under an eligible Globe Postpaid plan, it allows parents or legal guardians to manage their child’s connectivity while giving young users room to communicate, learn and access age-appropriate digital experiences. The plan includes unlimited calls and texts, 100 minutes of landline calls and 10GB of all-access data with rollover and data-swap features. It also provides access to Messenger Kids and Mobile Legends, as well as selected video, social and gaming apps. Families can choose one app from each category, with options including YouTube Kids, Netflix, Disney+, Viu, Viber, WhatsApp, Roblox, Discord, PUBG and Call of Duty. Through the GlobeOne app, parents can monitor data usage, check remaining allocations, manage Data Swap options and choose their child’s unlimited apps. A parent-managed postpaid account also removes the need to regularly reload credits or keep track of expiring promotions. More importantly, such tools can become starting points for conversations about responsible technology use instead of serving merely as restrictions. “As children become more connected, parents are looking for solutions that keep up with their family’s evolving needs,” said Jo Anne Illescas-Pique, senior director for Globe Postpaid. Digital responsibility can also extend to money management. Eligible GPlan Junior subscribers who successfully register for GCash Jr. may receive GCash vouchers, providing parents with another opportunity to teach their children how to save, spend and manage digital money within a supervised environment.
