Medicinal Protein Engineering provides a comprehensive overview of one of the most complex areas of molecular research. Using a multidisciplinary approach, this book seeks to move readers from experiment and theory to actual applications. In particular, this text focuses on cutting-edge research and medicinal applications of protein construction including the construction of synthetic genes and the chemical synthesis of peptides. It discusses computational approaches to protein design, including the prediction of protein folding. It also considers those medicinal proteins that could be improved through protein engineering, including antibodies, antigens, and a variety of vaccines.
