Bioinspired Diatomite Membrane with Selective Superwettability for Oil/Water Separation.

abstract：:Improving the affinity of protein-protein interactions is a challenging problem that is particularly important in the development of antibodies for diagnostic and clinical use. Here, we used structure-based computational methods to optimize the binding affinity of VHNAC1, a single-domain intracellular antibody (intrab...
