What are biologics?
Biologics are large, complex medicines, many of which are protein-based, that are derived from living material. The proteins in biological products have a three-dimensional structure that plays a critical role in the medicine’s safety and efficacy. This three-dimensional structure is determined by the order of the amino acids, the folding or bending of the amino acid chain, and the interactions between different parts of a single chain or between multiple chains joined together.
