Abstract
Human proteins, including enzymes, manufactured with recombinant-DNA y easts can be used to treat a variety of medical conditions; some redes ign of molecular structure (and production techniques) should increase their specificity, efficacy and immunotolerance. Prevention and treat ment of diseases due to reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nit rogen species (RNS) may become possible, Therapeutic vaccines for some diseases may be produced by design-specification for particular desir able protein features, on an individual patient basis.
