Therapeutic Proteins and Peptides, Volume 112

In an ongoing series, this volume promotes further research in the discovery of new therapeutic targets that can be affected by therapeutic proteins and peptides to cure or manage symptoms of human diseases. This release focuses on the Rational Design of Stable Liquid Formulations of Biopharmaceuticals, formulation strategies for peptides, proteins, and antibodies using nanotechnology, the solution structural dynamics of therapeutic peptides and their adsorption on plasmonic nanoparticles, enzymatic approaches of protein-polymer conjugation, chimeric small antibody fragments as a strategy to deliver therapeutic payloads, smart cell-penetrating peptide-based techniques for cytoplasmic delivery of therapeutic macromolecules, and more.

It describes advances in the discovery and application of therapeutic proteins/peptides which allow better targeting to the site of treatment and cause fewer adverse effects when compared to chemical compounds used for disease treatment.

This volume is targeted to a very wide audience of specialists, researchers, and students. It is written by well-renowned authorities in their field and includes a number of high-quality illustrations, figures, and tables.
