This book illustrates the successful partnership of chemistry and
biology to advance successful biotherapeutic modalities. Molecular
design to create function is common to both chemical and molecular
biology, and this text highlights recent developments from these
disciplines that have delivered drugs, clinical candidates or
significantly advanced biotherapeutic approaches. Biotherapeutics
are often considered to be beyond the reach of the medicinal
chemist, but this book demonstrates that chemistry has an essential
role in the future success of this area, by explaining and
describing the chemical biology technologies that underpin specific
therapeutic advances and demonstrating the unique value of
molecular design and understanding. Covering topics such as
selective protein modification, immunopharmacotherapy, chemically
programmed vaccinations, nanobodies and antibodies, this book
provides essential reading for medicinal and pharmaceutical
chemists working in both industry and academia.
