Author(s): Mehwish Shafiq*, Muqaddas Rana and Shahnaz Chaudhary
Human cells produce an enormous number of proteins and dysfunction in these may lead to serious diseases and developmental abnormalities. To treat these protein de iciencies the missing or dysfunctional molecules are complemented or substituted with therapeutics provided by different biological systems. However, protein therapeutics must unavoidably adhere to quality constraints that are much stricter than those for chemical industries. Although it is undoubtedly a challenging task to obtain an active protein in a way that is economically feasible, biopharmaceuticals (recombinant proteins, monoclonal antibodies or vaccines) are the largest group of drugs developed in the pharmaceutical industry. Market calculations estimated the recombinant protein drug industry to be around 10% of the entire drug market, predicting an even larger proportion in the future. The global market of biophar..
