BACKGROUND: Jiedu Sangen Decoction (JSD) is widely used in the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients in southern China due to its good clinical efficacy, but the effective active ingredients are still unknown.
The design of proteins capable effectively binding to specific protein targets is crucial for developing therapies, diagnostics, and vaccine candidates for viral infections. Here, we introduce a complementarity-determining region (CDR) grafting appro...
