USE OF TRIS(HYDROXYMETHYL) AMINOMETHANE FOR THE STABILIZATION OF PEPTIDES, POLYPEPTIDES AND PROTEINS

摘要

The present invention is directed to a method for reducing the onset or incidence of gelation/fibrillation/aggregation during the up- and down-stream processing and purification of peptides, polypeptides and proteins analogs and/or derivatives thereof, including Glucagon-Like Peptides (GLPs). More particularly, the present invention relates to methods of processing and purifying such peptides, polypeptides and proteins in the presence of tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane.
