Reflecting the explosive growth of biotechnology medications, this edition of Therapeutic Peptides and Proteins contains more than fifty percent new material. It provides hard to find information addressing therapeutic drugs made from proteins, as well as protein-based vaccines. Embracing an industrial perspective, it examines the origin of recombinant proteins, explores structural and analytical aspects, discusses protein and peptide stability, and offers a new chapter on recombinant protein subunit vaccines and delivery systems. By presenting complex information in a simple style with minimal overlap, the book utilizes extensive cross-referencing to enhance its value as a resource.
