Abstract
Therapeutic messenger RNAs (mRNAs) have emerged as powerful tools in the treatment of complex diseases, especially for conditions that lack efficacious treatment. The successful application of this modality can be attributed to its ability to encode entire proteins. While the large nature of these molecules has supported their success as therapeutics, its extended size creates several analytical challenges. To further support therapeutic mRNA development and its deployment in clinical trials, appropriate methods to support their characterization must be developed. In this review, we describe current analytical methods that have been used in the characterization of RNA quality, identity, and integrity. Advantages and limitations from several analytical techniques ranging from gel electrophoresis to liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry and from shotgun sequencing to intact mass measurements are discussed. We comprehensively describe the application of analytical methods in the measurements of capping efficiency, poly A tail analysis, as well as their applicability in stability studies.
期刊介绍：
The aim of the journal Mass Spectrometry Reviews is to publish well-written reviews in selected topics in the various sub-fields of mass spectrometry as a means to summarize the research that has been performed in that area, to focus attention of other researchers, to critically review the published material, and to stimulate further research in that area.
The scope of the published reviews include, but are not limited to topics, such as theoretical treatments, instrumental design, ionization methods, analyzers, detectors, application to the qualitative and quantitative analysis of various compounds or elements, basic ion chemistry and structure studies, ion energetic studies, and studies on biomolecules, polymers, etc.
