Table 25.1 lists some of the FDA- approved marketed products of therapeutic proteins.
The physical and chemical instabilities of proteins and peptides, arising from their large molecular weight and complex structure, pose many challenges for pharmaceutical formulation development. Clinical applications of protein drugs are limited by their inadequate concentration in blood, poor oral bioavailability, high manufacturing cost, chemical or biological instability, and/ or rapid hepatic metab-

Proteins and peptides consist of simple building blocks called amino acids, which are linked together by peptide bonds. A peptide bond is formed by the nucleophilic addition of the primary amine of one amino acid to the electropositive carboxylate carbon of the other amino acid (Figure 25.1). Two

As shown in Figure 25.2, a chain of amino acids forming a polypeptide through covalent linkages constitutes a protein or peptide’s primary structure. The spatial folding of a polypeptide chain through noncovalent interactions of neighboring amino acids results in the secondary structure, which consists

25.2.1 Amino Acids
There are 20 naturally occurring amino acids that form the structural basis of all the proteins and peptides. The chemical structures of these amino acids, along with their abbreviated and one- letter designations, are presented in Figure 25.3. Each amino acid possesses unique physicochemical properties governed by its chemical structure.
• Nineteen amino acids contain an amino (– NH2) and carboxyl (– COOH) group attached to a carbon

Amino acids with low pKa values are acidic, whereas amino acids with high (>7) pKa values (which would correspond to low pKb values) are basic.

25.2.4 Tertiary Structure
The tertiary structure of a protein refers to the exact three- dimensional structure of its constituent polypeptide chain(s) (Figure 25.2). The spatial proximity of secondary structural elements determines the tertiary structure of a polypeptide. Spatially close amino acids on the folded (secondary struc­ture) polypeptide chains can form an attractive hydrogen bond, ionic, or hydrophobic interactions,

that have more than one noncovalently linked constituent polypeptide chain (Figure 25.2). These polypeptide chains can associate to form dimers, trimers, and oligomers, which constitute the qua­ternary structure of a protein. Almost all proteins that are greater than 100 kDa have a quaternary structure. For example, hemoglobin consists of nonidentical subunits that associate to form a dimer
