Abstract
Numerous peptides are available on the market as therapeutic drugs for regulating tumor growth, microorganism proliferation, immune response and/or metabolic disorders. Peptides are produced either by chemical synthesis or heterologous expression. Independent of the method chosen, there are challenges to transferring its production from the bench (~mg/L) to the industrial (~g/L) scale. Thus, the main scale-up pitfalls for the two methods of peptide production are reviewed here, including the advantages of each. Moreover, there will be a special focus on the main challenges for large-scale, heterologous production systems. Peptides that are currently available on the market are also described with an emphasis on how their process optimization has been designed in order to develop a cost-effective product.
Keywords: Calcitonin, chemical synthesis, Fuzeon, Glucagon, heterologous expression, Pexiganan, Sandostatin, scale-up.

Artificial Intelligence for Protein Research
Protein research, essential for understanding biological processes and creating therapeutics, faces challenges due to the intricate nature of protein structures and functions. Traditional methods are limited in exploring the vast protein sequence space efficiently. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) offer promising solutions by improving predictions and speeding up ...read more
Nutrition and Metabolism in Musculoskeletal Diseases
The musculoskeletal system consists mainly of cartilage, bone, muscles, tendons, connective tissue and ligaments. Balanced metabolism is of vital importance for the homeostasis of the musculoskeletal system. A series of musculoskeletal diseases (for example, sarcopenia, osteoporosis) are resulted from the dysregulated metabolism of the musculoskeletal system. Furthermore, metabolic diseases (such ...read more
Protein Folding, Aggregation and Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation
Protein folding, misfolding and aggregation remain one of the main problems of interdisciplinary science not only because many questions are still open, but also because they are important from the point of view of practical application. Protein aggregation and formation of fibrillar structures, for example, is a hallmark of a ...read more
