Protein Therapeutics

Therapeutic proteins are proteins that are engineered in the laboratory for pharmaceutical use, including noncovalent binders, proteins that affect covalent bonds which are almost all enzymes, and albumin. Therapeutic proteins are highly effective in vivo and have revolutionized treatment of diseases. Protein therapeutics permits an individualized treatment approach by supporting a specifically targeted therapeutic process by compensating the deficiency of an essential protein.

 

Advantages of Protein therapeutics:

• A highly specific and complex set of functions

• Less potential to interfere with normal biological processes and cause adverse effects

• Well tolerated and less likely to elicit immune responses

• Effective replacement treatment without the need for gene therapy

• A faster clinical development and FDA approval

• Far-reaching patent protection
