Abstract
In recent years, therapeutic proteins have become an important growing class of drugs in the pharmaceutics industry. The development of recombinant DNA technology has caused to appreciation of therapeutic value of many proteins and peptides in medicine. Currently, approximately 100 therapeutic proteins obtained approval from Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and they are widely used in the treatment of various diseases such as cancer, diabetes, anemia and infections. This paper will summarize the production processes, pharmaceuticals and physicochemical properties and important classes of therapeutic proteins with their potential use in clinical applications.
Keywords: Therapeutic proteins, recombinant DNA technologies, monoclonal antibodies, interferons, insulin and erythropoietin.

Advancing the Understanding of Regulatory Mechanisms and Diseases Through Biochemistry and Structural Biology
Modern research is increasingly interested in understanding the regulatory mechanisms and diseases through various integrative approaches. Biochemistry and structural biology offer valuable atomic-level insights that help unravel the complexities of cellular regulatory mechanisms and their association with health and disease. The unique advantage of these fields is that they provide ...read more
Therapeutic Proteins and Peptides of Plant Origin
Plants are still the major repository of biologically active substances. In the last two decades, however, natural peptides and proteins of plant origin have gained increasing attention due to their pharmacological activities over a variety of human illnesses, including those mediated by infections and parasitosis and those involving different cellular ...read more
