Biopharmaceuticals
A section of Pharmaceuticals (ISSN 1424-8247).
Section Information
Aim & Scope
This section is dedicated to research on the therapeutic, diagnostic, prognostic and immunoprophylactic developments of important biological macromolecules built from amino acids, sugars, nucleic acids, comprising small basic units of which they are composed, and mimetics produced by chemical synthesis. Contributions focusing on biopharmaceutical applications of more complex entities, such as phages, viruses, exosomes and stem cells, among others, are also welcome. Also reports on structure and molecular interactions determinant for biopharmaceuticals bioactivity or pharmaceutical applications, e.g. by computational and NMR studies are also accepted.
