Which condition compromises monoclonal antibody therapeutics due to aggregation?

A)Incomplete disulfide bridge formation during translation
B)Deamidation disrupts hydrogen bonding network
C)Hydrophobic core destabilization via solvation
D)Oxidation-induced radical chain backbone cleavage

💡 Explanation

Deamidation changes the charge of asparagine or glutamine, which disrupts electrostatic interactions. This disrupts the hydrogen bonding network, therefore leading to protein aggregation, rather than remaining folded due to hydrophobic forces alone.
