What is a protein?
Proteins are made up of long chains of amino acids. These chains are folded into delicate structures. A functional protein consists of these chains arranged into large, very complex, structures.

How are proteins made?
The genes (DNA) are the blueprint for proteins.The DNA is transcribed into RNA. RNA is translated into proteins.

What are proteins good for?
Catalysts (enzymes): digestion (proteases)Transporters: breathing (hemoglobin)Receptors: energy/sugar balance (insulin), allergy (IgE)Structure builders: skeleton (collagen), muscles (actin/myosin)Defense: immune system (antibodies)

Why purify proteins?
They are fundamental in controlling biological functions.They are key factors in many diseases.Therefore they are of high interest to the pharmaceutical industry.

How many proteins are there?
The exact number of proteins in the human body is not known.There are more than 20 000 protein-encoding genes.Some genes can give rise to several proteins.Proteins are present in a wide dynamic range, both in amount and in time.

Biopharmaceutical drugs
In 2013, there were over 300 approved biopharmaceutical drugs on the market. A quarter of these drugs were related to monoclonal antibodies (MAbs).

Reasons for purification
Proteomics sample preparationAim: find proteins associated with disease
Research-scale purificationAim: Purify target for functional/structural studies
Industrial-scale purificationAim: Large-scale production of biopharmaceuticals

Summary proteins
Proteins are made of long chains of amino acids folded into complex structures.Proteins are the working molecules of the cell and fill many different functions in the human body.Proteins and parts of proteins can be used as medicines.Efficient purification of proteins is required both in research and production of biopharmaceuticals.
