In recent years, functional proteins have shown great application value in the fields of medicine, military and textile because of their good biocompatibility, degradability and versatility. With the in-depth development of related research, great progress has been made in the directional design of protein molecules, the construction of cell factories and the application of protein processing. At present, how to give protein intelligent controllability in the production process of recombinant protein and realize the improvement of protein properties in all aspects has become a research hotspot in the field of biomedicine.
Bioengineering invited Researcher Xiang Qi from the Institute of Biomedicine, Jinan University/BIOPHARMACEUTICAL R&D CENTER JINAN UNIVERSITY and Associate Professor Ma Yi from South China University of Technology to collaborate on the establishment of the special issue "Biologically Active Recombinant Proteins ". This special issue will focus on innovative original research articles, comprehensive articles, and areas of basic research and application that reflect the latest developments in the field. Special issue topics include, but are not limited to:
l Research on biosynthesis of active peptides/proteins;
l Cell factories for the production of active proteins;
l Protein purification and analysis;
l Protein functional materials;
l Construction and application of drug carrier derived from bacteria;
l Protein material drug delivery system.
