This book is intended as a reference guide for graduate students,
postgraduate students and researchers with a basic knowledge of
protein chemistry who would like to know more about the biomedical
applications of natural proteins to promote healthier lives. The
book is divided into ten chapters, each of which explains different
natural proteins and their established biomedical applications. The
first chapter extensively deals with protein based natural fibers
and provides an overview of all protein based fibers currently
available. In turn, chapter two mainly focuses on the biomedical
applications of a special class of proteins called Heat Shock
Proteins; the biomedical applications of silkworm pupae proteins
are dealt in chapter three. Chapter four examines an interesting
use of Eri silk fibroin as a biomaterial for Tissue Engineering,
while chapter five discusses the key experimental details involved
in converting Tasar silk sericin into self-assembled nanoparticles.
Chapter six offers brief descriptions of bioactive proteins with
respect to their sources, synthesis and applications. Chapter seven
is dedicated to Interleukine-8 and its role in human life, while
chapter eight addresses the importance of natural proteins in
infectious diseases. Chapter nine explores the issue of excess
intake of dietary proteins and its adverse effects, and finally,
chapter ten discusses the efficiency of drug delivery systems made
up of gelatin nanocomposites. The book is above all intended as a
valuable resource for students and researchers alike, sparking
their curiosity with regard to the applications of natural proteins
and motivating them to focus their own energies on the discovery or
identification of additional natural proteins for diverse
biomedical uses.
