Peptides biotechnology

This classification does not apply to biological/biotechnological, peptide, oligonucleotide, radiopharmaceutical, fermentation and semisynthetic products derived therefrom, herbal products, and crude products of animal or plant origin. 

The use of mass spectrometry for the analysis of peptides, proteins, and enzymes has been summarized. This chapter should be read in conjunction with others, including Chapter 45, An Introduction to Biotechnology, and Chapters 1 through 5, which describe specific ionization techniques in detail.

The development of peptides and proteins as therapeutic agents has been greatly accelerated by advances in the fields of biotechnology. 

Capillary gel electrophoresis is becoming very widely used in the biotechnology field for the high resolution separation of DNA and peptides according to molecular weight, but it has limited application for the analysis of surfactants (Wallingford, 1996). CGE does result in an increase in the resolution per unit time over SEC for charged polymers (Poli and Schure,1992).
