The backbone dynamics of the channel-forming peptide antibiotic zervamicin IIB (Zrv-IIB) in methanol were studied by 15N nuclear magnetic resonance relaxation measurements at 11.7, 14.1 and 18.8 T magnetic fields. The anisotropic overall rotation of the peptide was characterized based on 15N relaxation data and by hydrodynamic calculations. 'Model-free' analysis of the relaxation data showed that the peptide is fairly rigid on a sub-nanosecond time-scale. The residues from the polar side of Zrv-IIB helix are involved in micro-millisecond time-scale conformational exchange. The conformational exchange observed might indicate intramolecular processes or specific intermolecular interactions of potential relevance to Zrv-IIB ion channel formation.

In Arabidopsis thaliana, micro-RNA regulation is primarily controlled by DCL1, an RNase III enzyme, and its associated proteins. DCL1, together with DRB2, governs a specific group of miRNAs that induce the inhibition of target mRNA translation. DRB2 is a multi-domain protein containing two N-terminal dsRNA binding domains (dsRBD) separated by a linker, followed by an unstructured C-terminal tail.

The Alkbh7 protein, a member of the Alkylation B (AlkB) family of dioxygenases, plays a crucial role in epigenetic regulation of cellular metabolism. This paper focuses on the NMR backbone resonance assignment of Alkbh7, a fundamental step in understanding its three-dimensional structure and dynamic behavior at the atomic level. Herein, we report the backbone H, N, C chemical shift assignment of the full-length human Alkbh7.

This study investigates camel milk protein structural dynamics during digestion using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Two-Dimensional Infrared (2D-IR) homo-correlation and hetero-correlation analysis. The synchronous 2DIR homo-correlation map reveals that NH bending and C-N stretching vibrations (amide II) are sensitive to digestion, indicating significant impacts on secondary structures. The asynchronous 2DIR homo-correlation indicates a stepwise process, where initial disruptions in NH interactions precede changes in CO stretching vibrations (amide I), highlighting the sequence of structural alterations during protein unfolding and degradation.

Recently, a multi-scale representation attention based deep multiple instance learning method has proposed to directly extract patch-level image features from gigapixel whole slide images (WSIs), and achieved promising performance on multiple popular WSI datasets. However, it still has two major limitations: (i) without considering the relations among patches, thereby possibly restricting the model performance; (ii) unable to handle retrieval tasks, which is very important in clinic diagnosis. To overcome these limitations, in this paper, we propose a novel end-to-end MIL-based deep hashing framework, which is composed of a multi-scale representation attention based deep network as the backbone, patch-based dynamic graphs and hashing encoding layers, to simultaneously handle classification and retrieval tasks.
