DNA technology or from transgenic animals. Recombinant DNA technology has allowed the large-

philia), mAbs, and tissue plasminogen activator (t- PA). Protein therapeutics to replace or supplement
endogenous protein molecules are used for several diseases, such as diabetes (insulin), growth hormone
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-

can cause undesirable side effects. Also, proteins can elicit host immune responses following repeated use

25.2 Structure
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
amino acids. Long chains of amino acids tend to self- associate and fold into three- dimensional
often a function of their unique amino acid sequence and the resulting conformation that makes up
the protein.
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
dis-
tant amino acids, which give the overall structure to one polypeptide chain, called the tertiary structure.
The spatial interaction of more than one polypeptide chain to form a protein is termed the quaternary
structure.

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
because it is next to the carboxylate group in the structure. The amino acid proline is unusual in
that its side chain forms a direct covalent bond with the nitrogen atom of an amino group. This is
indicated in the higher hydrophobic character of proline (higher log P, Table 25.2) compared to
most other amino acids.
•
This chirality can lead to two optical isomers, - and - amino acids, which would be mirror images
of each other. Natural amino acids are exclusively - amino acids.

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. Amino acids typically have an acidic carboxylate group
and a basic amino group, which contribute to their acidity or basicity. In addition, the side chain may

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,

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
