Download or read book Protein Engineering written by Caroline Koehrer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-01-07 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Site-specific mutagenesis of DNA, developed some thirty years ago, has proven to be one of the most important advances in biology. By allowing the site-specific replacement of any amino acid in a protein with one of the other nineteen amino acids, it ushered in the new era of "Protein Engineering". The field of protein engineering has, however, evolved rapidly since then and the last fifteen years have witnessed remarkable advances through the use of new chemical, biochemical and molecular biological tools towards the synthesis and manipulation of proteins. The chapters included in this book reflect the rapid evolution of protein engineering and its many applications in basic research, biotechnology, material sciences and therapy. This book will provide the reader with an introduction to state-of the-art concepts and methods and will be of use to anyone interested in the study of proteins, in academia as well as in industry.

Download or read book Peptide And Protein Engineering For Biotechnological And Therapeutic Applications written by Pierre Rousselot-pailley and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2023-01-06 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peptides and proteins are crucial biomolecules in life. The manifold functions they carry out range from molecular recognition and signaling to catalysis and immune response. However, the native systems are limited to a reduced toolbox of chemical functionalities as well as tridimensional structures. Widening these toolboxes could pave the way to engineer peptides and proteins with enhanced properties compared to their native counterparts and/or with structures and functions unprecedented in Nature. Advances in the chemical and biological synthesis of peptides and proteins, in computational tools, in molecular biology and in high-throughput screening methods are making this realm possible.This book aims to give an overview of the last developments in the field of peptide and protein engineering. It comprises a collection of chapters that span from the production of simple non-proteinogenic building blocks and peptidic scaffolds of different sizes and structures to more complex systems including peptide-based nanomaterials, enzymes and artificial metalloenzymes. Different strategies are described where chemical and biological tools have been developed and combined to attain the desired properties and sought functionalities.The diverse systems described in this book highlight the progress in this important field and represent the starting points for the development of functional biomolecules, biomaterials and hybrid systems capable of addressing key societal challenges of our times in relevant areas such health, environment and energy.

Download or read book Introduction to Proteins and Protein Engineering written by Barry Robson and published by Elsevier Publishing Company. This book was released on 1988 with total page 722 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The desire to understand protein structure has been given new impetus by the explosive growth of biotechnology and the important role of proteins, natural and modified, in this technology. Protein molecules are machines, and protein engineering is opening up a whole new world of machinery on the molecular scale. This work is a simple, but in many ways detailed, introduction, to current knowledge, techniques, and applications. The volume is essentially in two parts, the first half covering a basic introduction to proteins appropriate at the undergraduate and early postgraduate level, which will prove a valuable teaching aid. The second half is a more advanced guide to concepts and methods, covering a range of aspects not previously collected in one volume. It will serve as a background reader and guide for advanced research study.
Download or read book Biobetters written by Amy Rosenberg and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-08-23 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Biobetters: Protein Engineering to Approach the Curative” discusses the optimization of protein therapeutic products for treatment of human diseases. It is based on the fact that though numerous important therapeutic protein products have been developed for life threatening and chronic diseases that possess acceptable safety and efficacy profiles, these products have generally not been reexamined and modified for an improved clinical performance, with enhancements both to safety and efficacy profiles. Advances in protein engineering, coupled with greatly enhanced understanding of critical product quality attributes for efficacy and safety, make it possible to optimize predecessor products for clinical performance, thereby enhancing patient quality of life and with the potential for great savings in health care costs. Yet despite such knowledge, there is little movement towards such modifications. This book examines engineering protein therapeutic products such that they exhibit an optimal, not just an adequate, clinical performance profile. Two product classes, therapeutic enzymes for lysosomal storage diseases (enzyme replacement therapies, ERT) and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), are used as examples of what modifications to such proteins could be made to enhance clinical performance, “closer to a cure” as it were. For ERT, the key to optimizing clinical performance is to ensure the ERT is endowed with moieties that target the protein to the relevant target tissue. Thus, for Gaucher Disease, our best example of how to optimize an ERT to address a disease that manifests in specific target tissues (macrophages and monocytes), the enzyme has been extensively modified to target macrophages. For diseases such as Pompe Disease, largely a disorder of muscle, optimal performance of ERT will depend on endowing the enzyme with the ability to be taken up via the Mannose 6 Phosphate Receptor, and so one of the chapters in the book will discuss such approaches. Moreover, a major failure of biotechnology based products is to gain access to the CNS, a key target tissue in numerous diseases. Thus, a chapter has been devoted to strategies to access the CNS. Additionally, immune responses to therapeutic proteins can be highly problematic, eliminating the efficacy of life saving or highly effective protein therapeutics. This is especially poignant in the case of Pompe Disease wherein great improvement in muscle strength and functionality is lost following development of an immune response to the ERT with consequent patient deterioration and death. Thus, a chapter regarding protein engineering, as well as other non-clinical approaches to diminishing immunogenicity is a valuable part of the book. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) can be engineered to bind targets relevant to a wide variety of diseases; binding affinity, however, is only part of the equation and one of the chapters will present a molecular assessment approach that balances affinity with pharmacokinetics and manufacturability. As with other proteins immunogenicity can be problematic, being responsible for loss of efficacy of anti-TNF mAbs, often after prolonged successful treatment. The authors will also share their perspective on the consequences of physico-chemical modifications occurring to mAbs once they reach the circulation or their target, a research area open to further development from a protein engineering as well as analytical perspective. This book will also discuss novel platforms for protein therapeutics, technologies that exceed mAbs with respect to potency, and hence, potentially efficacy. These platforms consist largely of repeat domain proteins with very high affinity for their target ligands, but while potentially more efficacious, immunogenicity may be a major problem limiting use. The economics surrounding the issue of biobetters is another high-profile issue - this final chapter will explore the incentives and disincentives for developing biobetters and consider incentives that might make their pursuit more rewarding.
