Ulrich [and others] -- Papillomavirus-derived virus-like particles / Andris Kazaks and Tatyana Voronkova -- Recombinant vaccines against hepatitis viruses / Jonny Yokosawa, Néstor O. Perez, and Lívia M.G. Rossi -- Designer diagnostic reagents and allergens / Anna Obriadina -- Peptide-based diagnostic assays / María José Gómara and Isabel Haro -- Recombinant antibodies / Alla Likhacheva and Tatyana Ulanova -- Protein engineering for HIV therapeutics / James M. Smith, Dennis Ellenberger, and Salvatore Butera -- Recombinant enzymes with new and improved properties / Lilia Milkova Ganova-Raeva -- Production of pharmaceutical compounds in plants / Miguel Angel Gómez Lim -- Plant virus biotechnology platforms for expression of medicinal proteins / Andris Zeltins -- Alphaviruses : multiplicity of vectors and their promising application as vaccines and cancer therapy agents / Anna Zajakina [and others].
Summary: Medicinal Protein Engineering sheds light on this largely unchartered field, covering major strategies for engineering of proteins with predetermined biological properties. It discusses computational approaches to protein design and experimental approaches to protein construction. This volume also explores the tight connection between protein and genetic engineering. It moves researchers beyond experimental protein construction and theoretical protein design to the medicinal applications of engineered proteins.
