Definition

ratio that is determined by the magnitude of a specified member or subset of a defined group of material entities relative to the total magnitude of that group

Explanatory Notes

1) Relative abundance is defined only after choosing a defined group of material entities as the comparison basis. The group may be small, such as the set of glycoform entities considered for one protein in one material, or very large, such as all atoms of an element in the universe. 2) The numerator may correspond to one member of the group or the combined contribution of a subset of members. The denominator is the total contribution across the entire defined group of material entities. 3) In many analytical settings, the magnitudes used in the ratio are estimated from instrument responses according to a stated method and reporting convention. 4) The defined group used for the numerator and denominator provides the comparison basis for the ratio. The quality may inhere in a broader material entity that contains the members of that group, such as a culture, mixture, intermediate pool, or product lot, with the group specifying what the relative abundance is computed over

Examples

  • % of high-mannose species at the end of a fed-batch step; relative abundance of a sequence variant in a drug substance lot
