Abstract
Serum albumin (SA) is the most prevalent protein found in blood. Human albumin was used as an albumin substitute in hypoalbuminemia pets due to high sequence similarity. SAs from furry animals were also reported to be the major indoor allergens. Sensitizing to one of SAs coupled with high sequence identity can lead to cross-reactive antibodies in allergic individuals. Thus, understanding the structural and dynamic characters of SAs is crucial for not only albumin substitution but also allergen therapy. Herein, Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed to elucidate the structural and dynamic dissimilarity and similarity of economic animals [equine (ESA), caprine (CASA), ovine (OSA), and leporine (LSA)] to albumins from human (HSA), bovine (BSA), porcine (PSA), and pets [cat (FSA) and dog (CSA)]. The aim is to explore the feasibility of HSA substitution and understand how albumins cause the cross-reactivity. Generally, all albumins studied here show the scissoring motion like other mammalian albumins. The uniqueness of each albumin is defined by different sequence identity of domain I. Also, the drug binding affinity of studied albumins differs from HSA, CSA, FSA, BSA, and PSA. Especially, LSA displays the most deviated behavior from the group. So, such albumin may not be suitable for albumin therapy for pets and humans. CASA, OSA, and ESA share similar characteristics, therefore it is possible to use them to monitor the osmotic pressure among their species, but the allergenic response must be seriously considered. An insight obtained here can be useful to develop albumin therapy and understand clinical allergy.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Human α-defensin 5 (HD5) is a cationic antimicrobial peptide exhibiting a wide range of antimicrobial activities. It plays an important role in mucosal immunity of the small intestine. HD5 exerts its bactericidal activities through multiple mechanisms, one of which involves HD5 inducing the formation of pores in the bacterial membrane, subsequently allowing the peptide to enter the bacterial cytoplasm. Nevertheless, the precise molecular intricacies underlying its bactericidal mechanisms remain inadequately understood. In this work, the Potential of Mean Force (PMF) was computed to delve into the energetic properties governing the movement of HD5 across the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) membrane, which is a representative model of the gram-negative bacterial membrane. Our findings indicate that the most favorable free energy is attained when HD5 binds to the surface of the LPS membrane. This favorable interaction is primarily driven by the strong interactions between arginine residues in HD5 and the charged head groups of LPS, serving as the predominant forces facilitating the adhesion of HD5 to the membrane. Our analysis reveals that a dimeric form of HD5 alone is sufficient to create a water-filled channel in the membrane; however, achieving the complete lysis of the gram-negative bacterial membrane requires higher-order oligomerization of HD5. Our results suggest that HD5 employs the toroidal pore formation mechanism to disrupt the integrity of the LPS membrane. Furthermore, we identified that the primary energy barrier obstructing HD5 from traversing the membrane is localized within the hydrophobic core of the membrane, which is also observed for other defensins. Additionally, our study demonstrates that a mixture of HD5-LPS leads to a thinning of the membrane. Taken together, this work provides a deeper insight into the molecular intricacies governing the behavior of HD5 as it translocates through the gram-negative bacterial membrane.

Abstract
Carnosine (CAR), anserine (ANS), homocarnosine (H-CAR), and ophidine (OPH) are histidine-containing dipeptides that show a wide range of therapeutic properties. With their potential physiological effects, these bioactive dipeptides are considered as bioactive food components. However, such dipeptides display low stability due to their rapid degradation by human serum carnosinase 1 (CN1). A dimeric CN1 hydrolyzes such histidine-containing compounds with different degrees of reactivities. A selective CN inhibitor, carnostatine (CARN), was reported to effectively inhibit CN's activity. To date, the binding mechanisms of CAR and ANS have been recently reported, while no clear information about H-CAR, OPH, and CARN binding is available. Thus, in this work, molecular dynamics simulations were employed to elucidate the binding mechanism of H-CAR, OPH, and CARN. Among all, the amine end and imidazole ring are the main players for trapping all of the ligands in a pocket. OPH shows the poorest binding affinity, while CARN displays the tightest binding. Such firm binding is due to the longer amine chain and the additional hydroxyl (-OH) group of CARN. H-CAR and CARN are analogous, but the absence of the -OH moiety in H-CAR significantly enhances its mobility, resulting in the reduction in binding affinity. For OPH which is an ANS analogue, the methylated imidazole ring destroys the OPH-CN1 interaction network at this region, consequentially leading to the poor binding ability. An insight into how CN recognizes and binds its substrates obtained here will be useful for designing an effective strategy to prolong the lifetime of CAR and its analogues after ingestion.

Abstract
Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus is tick parasite that affects the cattle industry worldwide. In R. (B.) microplus, acaricide resistance develops rapidly against many commercial acaricides. One of main resistance strategies is to enhance the metabolic detoxification mediated by R. (B.) microplus glutathione-S-transferase (RmGST). RmGST detoxifies acaricides by catalyzing the conjugation of glutathione to acaricides. Although structural and dynamic details of RmGST are expected to elucidate the biologic activity of this molecule, these data have not been available to date. Thus, Molecular Dynamics simulations were employed to study ligand-free RmGST at an atomic level. Like other m-class GSTs, the flexible m loop (m1) of RmGST was observed. M1 seems to shield the active sites from the bulk. A RmGST dimer is stabilized by the lock-and-key motif (F57 as "key") and hydrogen bonds of R82-E91 and R82-D98 at the dimer interface. Without substrates, conserved catalytic Y116 and N209 can interact with V112, G210 (for Y116) and F215 (for N209). Overall, most residues involving in RmGST function and stability are similar to other m-class GSTs. This implies similar structural stability and catalytic activity of RmGST to other GSTs. An insight obtained here will be useful for management of acaricide resistance and tick control.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
A microalbuminuria level acts as a good index to screen and monitor diabetes and renal failure. However, the urinary albumin loss after sample preservation and storage is the major bottleneck to obtain the accurate microalbuminuria test. Such loss is due to the rapid albumin fragmentation by urinary proteases. Some fragments were suggested to be bioactive biomarkers of diabetes and renal disease, but no structural and dynamical properties of albumin fragments are available. Thus, in this work, the structural and dynamical properties of reported albumin fragments are revealed using molecular dynamics simulations. The properties of nine fragments (F1-F9) discovered recently were studied at the real pH conditions of urine samples (pH 4.5, 7 and 8). The complete loss of secondary structure is found in short fragments (F1-F6), while large-sized polypeptides (F7-F9) can somehow maintain their folds. Especially, F8 (subdomain IIIB) is the most stable fragment. The difference in histidine protonation states has no impact on the structural stability of albumin fragments. The ability of F8 (subdomain IIIB) to maintain its stability and folds suggests it as an alternative albumin biomarker in urine. An insight obtained here will become the fundamental importance for understanding clinical assays for albumin detection, sample stability and peptidomics analysis of urine.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease involving continued elevated blood glucose levels. It is a leading cause of mortality and reduced life expectancy. Glycated human serum albumin (GHSA) has been reported to be a potential diabetes biomarker. A nanomaterial-based aptasensor is one of the effective techniques to detect GHSA. Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) have been widely used in aptasensors as an aptamer fluorescence quencher due to their high biocompatibility and sensitivity. GHSA-selective fluorescent aptamers are first quenched upon binding to GQDs. The presence of albumin targets results in the release of aptamers to albumin and consequently fluorescence recovery. To date, the molecular details on how GQDs interact with GHSA-selective aptamers and albumin remain limited, especially the interactions of an aptamer-bound GQD (GQDA) with an albumin. Thus, in this work, molecular dynamics simulations were used to reveal the binding mechanism of human serum albumin (HSA) and GHSA to GQDA. The results show the rapid and spontaneous assembly of albumin and GQDA. Multiple sites of albumins can accommodate both aptamers and GQDs. This suggests that the saturation of aptamers on GQDs is required for accurate albumin detection. Guanine and thymine are keys for albumin-aptamer clustering. GHSA gets denatured more than HSA. The presence of bound GQDA on GHSA widens the entrance of drug site I, resulting in the release of open-chain glucose. The insight obtained here will serve as a base for accurate GQD-based aptasensor design and development.

Abstract
Human serum albumin (HSA) is a protein carrier in blood transporting metabolites and drugs. Glycated HSA (GHSA) acts as a potential biomarker for diabetes. Thus, many attempts have been made to detect GHSA. Glycation was reported to damage the structure and ligand binding capability, where no molecular detail is available. Recently, the crystal structure of GHSA has been solved, where two glucose isomers (pyranose/GLC and open-chain/GLO) are located at Sudlow's site I. GLO was found to covalently bind to K195, while GLC is trapped by noncontact interactions. GHSA exists in two forms (Schiff base (SCH) and Amadori (AMA) adducts), but how both disrupt albumin activity microscopically remains unknown. To this end, molecular dynamics simulations were performed here to explore the nature of SCH and AMA. Both forms are found to alter the main protein dynamics, resulting in (i) the widening of Sudlow's site I entrance, (ii) the size reduction of nine fatty acid-binding pockets, (iii) the enlargement of Sudlow's site I and the shrinking of Sudlow's site II, (iv) the enhancement of C34 reactivity, and (v) the change in the W214 microenvironment. These unique characteristics found here can be useful for understanding the effect of glycation on the albumin function in more detail and designing specific and selective GHSA detection strategies.

Abstract
Malaria is a life-threatening disease in humans caused by Plasmodium parasites. Plasmodium vivax (P. vivax) is one of the prevalent species found worldwide. An increase in an anti-malarial drug resistance suggests the urgent need for new drugs. Zn2+-containing adenosine deaminase (ADA) is a promising drug target because the ADA inhibition is fatal to the parasite. Malarial ADA accepts both adenosine (ADN) and 5'-methylthioadenosine (MTA) as substrates. The understanding of the substrate binding becomes crucial for an anti-malarial drug development. In this work, ADA from P. vivax (pvADA) is of interest due to its prevalence worldwide. The binding of ADN and MTA are studied here using Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations. Upon binding, the open and closed states of pvADA are captured. The displacement of α7, linking loops of β3/α12, β4/α13, β5/α15, and α10/α11 is involved in the cavity closure and opening. Also, the inappropriate substrate orientation induces a failure in a complete cavity closure. Interactions with D46, D172, S280, D310, and D311 are important for ADN binding, whereas only hydrogen bonds with D172 and D311 are sufficient to anchor MTA inside the pocket. No Zn2+-coordinated histidine residues is acquired for substrate binding. D172 is found to play a role in ribose moiety recognition, while D311 is crucial for trapping the amine group of an adenine ring towards the Zn2+ site. Comparing between ADN and MTA, the additional interaction between D310 and an amine nitrogen on ADN supports a tighter fit that may facilitate the deamination.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Human carnosinases (CNs) are dimeric dipeptidases in the metallopeptidase M20 family. Two isoforms of carnosinases (Zn2+ -containing carnosinase 1 (CN1) found in serum and Mn2+ -carnosinase 2 (CN2) in tissue) were identified. Both CNs cleave histidine-containing (Xaa-His) dipeptides such as carnosine where CN2 was found to accept a broader spectrum of substrates. A loss of CN function, resulting in a high carnosine concentration, reduces risk for diabetes and neurological disorders. Although several studies on CN activities and its Michaelis complex were conducted, all shed the light on CN1 activity where the CN2 data is limited. Also, the molecular details on CN1 and CN2 similarity and dissimilarity in structure and function remain unclear. Thus, in this work, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were employed to study structure and dynamics of human CN1 and CN2 in comparison. The results show that the different catalytic ability of both CNs is due to their pocket size and environment. CN2 can accept a wider range of substrate due to the wider mouth of a binding pocket. The L1 loop seems to play a role in gating activity. Comparing to CN2, CN1 provides more electronegative entrance, more wettability, and higher stability of catalytic metal ion-pair in the active site which allow more efficient water-mediated catalysis. The microscopic understanding obtained here can serve as a basis for CN inhibition strategies resulting in higher carnosine levels and consequently mitigating complications associated with diseases such as diabetes and neurological disorder.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that play a role in regulating gene expression. MiRNAs are focused on as potential cancer biomarkers due to their involvement in the cancer development. New effective techniques for extracting miRNA from a biological matrix is important. Recently, graphene quantum dots (GQDs) have been used to detect DNA/RNA in many sensor platforms, but the application in miRNA extraction remains limited. To extract miRNAs, the miRNA adsorption and desorption on GQD are the key. Thus, in this work, the adsorption mechanism of excess miRNA on GQD in solution is revealed using Molecular dynamics simulations. The miRNA assemblies on one and two GQDs were studied to explore the possibility of using GQD for miRNA extraction. The folded miR-29a molecule, one of key cancer biomarkers, is used as an miRNA model. Three systems with one (6miR) and two GQDs (with parallel (6miR_2GP) and sandwich (6miR_2GS) organisations) in six-miR-29a solution were set. The data show excess miR-29a can reduce the miR-29a-GQD binding efficiency. The opening of intrabase pairing of GQD-absorbed miR-29a facilitates the interbase coupling resulting in the self-aggregation of miR-29a. The GQD organisation also affects the miR-29a adsorption ability. The additional GQDs result in the tighter miR-29a adsorption which can retard the miR-29a desorption. The proper GQD concentration is thus important to successfully collect all miR-29a and accommodate the easy miR-29a dissociation. Our results can be useful for a design of DNA probe and choosing decent nanosized GRA concentration for experimental setups.

Abstract
The instability of human serum albumin (HSA) in urine samples makes fresh urine a requirement for microalbumin analyses using immunoturbidimetry. Here, we determined the ability of an aptasensor-based fluorescent platform to detect microalbumin in old, boric acid-preserved urine samples. Our results show that the cleavage site of protease enzymes on urine albumin protein differed from the binding position of the aptamer on HSA protein, suggesting the aptasensor may be effective for albumin detection in non-fresh urine. Furthermore, the addition of boric acid in urine samples over a short term (at ambient temperature (Ta) and 4 °C), long term (-20 and -80 °C), and following freeze-thawing (1-3 cycles) did not significantly affect albumin stability, as analyzed using the aptasensor. Therefore, boric acid stabilized has in urine stored over a short- and long-term. Thus, the aptasensor developed by us is applicable for HSA detection in boric acid-preserved urine that has been stored for 7-d at Ta and 4 °C, and in the long-term at -80 °C.

Abstract
Carnosine (CAR) and anserine (ANS) are histidine-containing dipeptides that show the therapeutic properties and protective abilities against diabetes and cognitive deficit. Both dipeptides are rich in meat products and have been used as a supplement. However, in humans, both compounds have a short half-life due to the rapid degradation by dizinc carnosinase 1 (CN1) which is a hurdle for its therapeutic application. To date, a comparative study of carnosine- and anserine-CN1 complexes is limited. Thus, in this work, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed to explore the binding of carnosine and anserine to CN1. CN1 comprises 2 chains (Chains A and B). Both monomers are found to work independently and alternatingly. The displacement of Zn2+ pair is found to disrupt the substrate binding. CN1 employs residues from the neighbour chain (H235, T335, and T337) to form the active site. This highlights the importance of a dimer for enzymatic activity. Anserine is more resistant to CN 1 than carnosine because of its bulky and dehydrated imidazole moiety. Although both dipeptides can direct the peptide oxygen to the active Zn2+ which can facilitate the catalytic reaction, the bulky methylated imidazole on anserine promotes various poses that can retard the hydrolytic activity in contrast to carnosine. Anserine is likely to be the temporary competitive inhibitor by retarding the carnosine catabolism.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs), short single-stranded noncoding RNA molecules, serve as potential cancer biomarkers due to their involvement in cancer development. One of the strategies to extract miRNAs is to perform the miRNA adsorption on nanomaterials and dissociation by a complementary DNA strand (DNA probe). Recently, graphene quantum dots (GQDs) were found to show a good ability to absorb miRNAs. Thus, in this work, the mechanism of the GQD-adhered miRNA capture by its complementary DNA is revealed using molecular dynamics simulations. miR-29a, a potential cancer biomarker, is used as a miRNA model. Three systems containing one and four chains of miR-29a in addition to one and four complementary DNA probes (1R1D, 1R4D, and 4R4D) were studied. GQDs are the prime targets of a DNA attack. The full coverage of GQDs is required to protect the adsorption of DNA probes on the GQD face. The nucleobase-backbone interactions are the main contributors to miR-DNA interactions in this work. The interbase paring becomes small because most nucleobases of miR-29a and their probe are stacked to maintain their secondary structures, and some are absorbed on the GQD surface. Apparently, weakening of the nucleobase-GQD π-π stacking and the intrabase-pairing strength is needed for extracting miR-29a by a probe. Although no GQD-absorbed miR-29a desorption is found here, the basic principles obtained can be useful for further utilization of GQDs and their derivatives for miRNA extraction and detection.

Abstract
Human serum albumin (HSA) is a blood protein serving as a carrier for a wide range of drugs and nutrients. A level of glycated HSA (GHSA) is used as a diabetes biomarker. A graphene-based aptasensor is one of potential techniques to detect GHSA. Not only the interactions of albumin and aptamer, but the albumin-graphene (GRA) binding mechanism are also crucial for developing a diabetes aptasensor. In this work, Molecular Dynamics simulations (MD) were employed to explore the binding of GRA to both GHSA and HSA. The GRA binding from the back and front sides of an albumin are fast and spontaneous. The multiple GRA binding sites are identified. GRA causes more denaturation of helical characteristics in GHSA (∼12% reduction of helical structure). Both back and front GRA adhesions generate comparable degrees of helical unfolding. Importantly, the presence of bound GRA induces the release of glucose from drug sites implying the loss of ligand-binding affinity. This loss of drug site activity is independent on the GRA binding positions because all bound positions lead to the exit of sugars. The GRA binding deconstructs not only secondary structure, but also albumin function. Apparently, GRA is a non-biocompatible material for albumin. To construct a potential graphene-based aptasensor to detect GHSA, it is necessary to be certain that no free GRA surface is available because a bare GRA can bind and denature both HSA and GHSA which can cause misleading data.

Abstract
Human α-defensin 5 (HD5) is one of cationic antimicrobial peptides which plays a crucial role in an innate immune system in human body. HD5 shows the killing activity against a broad spectrum of pathogenic bacteria by making a pore in a bacterial membrane and penetrating into a cytosol. Nonetheless, its pore-forming mechanisms remain unclear. Thus, in this work, the constant-velocity steered molecular dynamics (SMD) simulation was used to simulate the permeation of a dimeric HD5 into a gram-negative lipopolysaccharide (LPS) membrane model. Arginine-rich HD5 is found to strongly interact with a LPS surface. Upon arrival, arginines on HD5 interact with lipid A head groups (a top part of LPS) and then drag these charged moieties down into a hydrophobic core resulting in the formation of water-filled pore. Although all arginines are found to interact with a membrane, Arg13 and Arg32 appear to play a dominant role in the HD5 adsorption on a gram-negative membrane. Furthermore, one chain of a dimeric HD5 is required for HD5 adhesion. The interactions of arginine-lipid A head groups play a major role in adhering a cationic HD5 on a membrane surface and retarding a HD5 passage in the meantime.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNA molecules associated with the regulation of gene expression in organisms. MiRNAs are focused on as potential cancer biomarkers due to their involvement in cancer development. New potential techniques for miRNA detection are rapidly developed, while there is a lack of effective extraction approaches, especially for miRNAs. Recently, graphene quantum dots (GQDs) have been involved in many disease biosensor platforms including miRNA detection, but no application in miRNA extraction is studied. To extract miRNAs, miRNA adsorption and desorption on GQDs are the key. Thus, in this work, the adsorption mechanism of miRNA on GQDs in solution is revealed using molecular dynamics simulations. The aim is to explore the possibility of using GQDs for miRNA extraction. The folded miR-29a molecule, one of the key cancer biomarkers, is used as a miRNA model. Two systems with one (1miR) and four (4miR) chains of miR-29a were set. MiR-29a molecules in all systems are simultaneously adsorbed on the GQD surface. Our finding highlights the ability of the GQD in collecting miRNAs in solution. In 1miR, the whole miR-29a chain sits on the GQD face, whereas all miR-29a molecules in 4miR show the "clamping" conformation. No "lying flat" orientation of miR-29a is observed due to the existence of the preserved hairpin region. Interestingly, the 5' end shows tighter binding than the 3' terminus. A design of complementary DNA with the recognition segment involving the sequences close to the 3' end can promote effective miR-29a desorption.

Abstract
Serum albumin (SA) is the most abundant carrier protein in blood. SA carries a diverse range of nutrients, drugs, and metal ions. It has wide clinical and biochemical applications. Human serum albumin (HSA) can be used as a biomarker for kidney and liver diseases. Aptasensor is one of potential HSA detection methods. HSA-specific aptamer was selected for HSA detection. In animals, bovine serum albumin (BSA) and canine serum albumins (CSA) share high sequence similarities to HSA. Thus, it is interesting to explore the possibility of using HSA-selective aptamer for BSA and CSA aptasensor. In this study, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were initially employed to investigate the binding of aptamer to BSA and CSA in comparison to HSA. Like HSA, both BSA and CSA can bind aptamer, but different binding affinities are observed. BSA shows the tighter binding to aptamer than CSA. Domain III is found to be the aptamer-binding domain although no specific aptamer conformation is captured. However, in all cases, the aptamer utilizes the 3'-end to attach on an albumin surface. Both nucleobases and phosphate backbones on a DNA aptamer are important for albumin-aptamer complexation. Our results imply the possibility of using HSA-specific aptamer for BSA detection due to tighter binding observed, but may be less effective in CSA. However, the test in actual complicated condition must be further studied.

Abstract
A simple and sensitive graphene oxide-mediated fluorescence quenching aptasensor is developed to quantify albuminuria in urine samples. The developed aptasensor used the specific target binding property of aptamer and fluorescence quenching property of graphene oxide to determine the concentration of human serum albumin in urine. The limit of detection of the developed platform is 0.05 µg.mL−1 and the detection range is 0.1–600 µg.mL−1, which covers the albuminuria concentration range present in normal human urine and the urine of the patient with chronic kidney disease.

Abstract
Albuminuria is a pathological condition wherein the human serum albumin (HSA) protein is present in abnormally excess amounts in the urine. A simple and sensitive graphene oxide-mediated fluorescence quenching aptasensor is developed to quantify albumin in urine samples and HSA in serum samples. The aptamer-bound HSA used in this aptasensor has hairpin structures, which are characteristic of the aptamer binding site. The limit of detection of the developed platform is 0.05 μg·mL-1 and the detection range is 0.1-14.0 μg·mL-1, which covers the albuminuria concentration range present in normal human urine and the urine of the patient with kidney diseases. This approach can be modified to measure HSA using a high-throughput quantification platform and portable point of care testing. In addition, the production cost for one reaction is cheaper than those for other standard automated methods. Therefore, this aptasensor has significant potential for commercialization and wide-scale public use.

Abstract
Cordycepin (3'-deoxyadenosine, abbreviated as COR) from Cordyceps shows a wide range of pharmacological activities, including antioxidant and anticancer effects, therefore representing a potential alternative medicine. However, COR has a short half-life in the human body, where it is metabolized by adenosine deaminase 1 (ADA1). ADA1 helps regulate adenosine levels by deaminating excess adenosine (ADE) and its derivatives, such as 2'-deoxyadenosine (DEO). Understanding binding mechanisms of ADA1 with COR in comparison with its other substrates will play a vital role in improving the bioactivity and lifetime of COR for commercial medicinal use. Recently, the first structure of human ADA1 in complex with DEO was solved. We therefore employed molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to predict structures and dynamics of ADA1 complexing with ADE, DEO, and COR in comparison to a ligand-free (LF) structure. Our data reveal that a large and highly water-exposed binding pocket of ADA1 is responsible for ligand translocation and reorientation. Two possible binding locations (site1 and site2) are identified. The binding affinities of the ligands are ADE > COR > DEO. Furthermore, the movements of two loop regions at the binding pocket entrance, residues 183-193 and 215-230, contribute to gating activity.

Abstract
Human α -defensin 5 (HD5) is a 32-residue cysteine-rich host-defense peptide that exhibits broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity and plays an essential role in innate immunity in the human gut and other organ systems. Although its antimicrobial mechanism of action remains unclear, the high salt concentration seems to attenuate the antimicrobial function of HD5 via an unknown mechanism. In this work, we employ Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations to analyse the oligomerization behaviour of HD5 when exposed to different salt concentration. We demonstrate that the presence of salt, such as sodium chloride (NaCl), promotes HD5 to form higher-order oligomers (up to heptamers) in our simulations. In addition, we also analyse the electrostatic interactions between the two Glu residues (E14 and E21) and their neighbouring residues. Our data confirm that the E14 residue is essential for the structural integrity, whereas the E21 residue contributes to the dimerization of HD5, suggesting that these Glu residues are important for the antimicrobial function of this peptide.

Abstract
Ixodid ticks have a crucial impact on people and domestic animals worldwide. These parasites also pose a serious threat to livestock. To date, vaccination of hosts against ticks is a safer, more sustainable alternative to chemical control of ticks and the disease agents they transmit. Because of their roles in tick physiology, serpins (serine protease inhibitors) from tick saliva are among the candidates for anti-tick vaccines. Inhibitory serpins employ a suicide inhibition mechanism to inhibit proteases, where the serpin reactive centre loop (RCL) is cleaved, by the targeted protease, and then inserted into the main β-sheet of the serpin. This causes a massive conformational change called the 'stressed to relaxed' (S→R) transition, leading to the breakdown of serpin into two regions (core domain and cleaved polypeptide). Recently, the first tick serpin crystal structure from Ixodes ricinus in R-state was reported. We thus employed molecular dynamics simulations to better understand serpin structure and dynamics in atomic detail. Overall, R-state serpin showed high rigidity, especially the core domain. The most flexible region is the terminal of the cleaved polypeptide, due to its high-water exposure, while the rest of the cleaved polypeptide is stably trapped behind the core domain. T363, D367 and N375 are found to play a vital role in protein-protein attachment. This finding can be used to explain the high stability of the R-state serpin at the atomic level and provides insight into this tick serpin which will be useful for rational anti-tick vaccine development.

Abstract
Betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (BADH2) plays a key role in the accumulation of 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (2AP), a fragrant compound in rice (Oryza sativa). BADH2 catalyses the oxidation of aminoaldehydes to carboxylic acids. An inactive BADH2 is known to promote fragrance in rice. The 3D structure and atomic level protein-ligand interactions are currently unknown. Here, the 3D dimeric structure of BADH2 was modeled using homology modeling. Furthermore, two 0.5 µs simulations were performed to explore the nature of BADH2 dimer structurally and dynamically. Each monomer comprises of 3 domains (substrate-binding, NAD+-binding, and oligomerization domains). The NAD+-binding domain is the most mobile. A scissor-like motion was observed between the monomers. Inside the binding pocket, N162 and E260 are tethered by strong hydrogen bonds to residues in close proximity. In contrast, the catalytic C294 is very mobile and interacts occasionally with N162. The flexibility of the nucleophilic C294 could facilitate the attack of free carbonyl on an aldehyde substrate. Key inter-subunit salt bridges contributing to dimerization were also identified. E487, D491, E492, K498, and K502 were found to form strong salt bridges with charged residues on the adjacent monomer. Specifically, the nearly permanent R430-E487 hydrogen bond (>90%) highlights its key role in dimer association. Structural and dynamic insights of BADH2 obtained here could play a role in the improvement of rice fragrance, which could lead to an enhancement in rice quality and market price.

Abstract
We selected and modified DNA aptamers specifically bound glycated human serum albumin (GHSA), which is an intermediate marker for diabetes mellitus. Our aptamer truncation study indicated that the hairpin-loop structure with 23 nucleotides length containing triple G-C hairpins and 15-nucleotide loop, plays an important role in GHSA binding. Fluorescent quenching graphene oxide (GO) and Cy5-labeled G8 aptamer were used in this study to develop simple and sensitive graphene based aptasensor for GHSA detection. The limit of detection (LOD) of our aptasensor was 50 μg/mL, which was lower than other existing methods. In addition, with the nuclease resistance system, our GHSA detection platform could also be used in clinical samples. Importantly, our approach could significantly reveal the higher levels of GHSA concentrations in diabetes than normal serums. These indicate that our aptasensor has a potential for diagnosis and monitoring of diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
In this study, the structural and dynamic properties of two major porins (OmpF and OmpC) in Escherichia coli are investigated using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Both porins have the extracellular loop L3 folded halfway through the pore to form a constriction area. The solute influx and efflux are controlled by the L3 movement. E296 and D312 in OmpF and homologous D299 and D315 in OmpC located on the barrel wall are found to play a key role in L3 gating activity. All possible charged states of both E296(D299) and D312(315) are applied in this study to observe changes in overall structure and especially L3 movement. The results show that different protonation states of both residues cause the large-scale deviations in structure and pore cavity especially in OmpF. Fully charged E296(D299) and D312(315) increase the protein flexibility significantly. Deprotonating at least one of E296(D299) and D312(315) helps to fasten L3 to the barrel wall and maintain pore size. Lacking of interactions with D312(315) can lead to the pore closure in OmpF. Comparing with OmpC, not only is OmpF less stable, but it is also more sensitive to the charge states of both E296(D299) and D312(315).

Abstract
Combining a high degree of selectivity and nanoscale dimensions, biological pores are attractive potential components for nanotechnology devices and applications. Biomimetic design will facilitate production of stable synthetic nanopores with defined functionality. Bacterial porins offer a good source of possible templates for such nanopores as they form stable, selective pores in lipid bilayers. Molecular dynamics simulations have been used to design simple model nanopores with permeation free energy profiles that can be made to mimic a template protein, the OprP porin, which forms pores selective for anions. In particular, we explored the effects of varying the nature of pore-lining groups on free energy profiles for phosphate and chloride ions along the pore axis and the total charge of the permeation pathway of the pore. Cationic side chains lining the model nanopore are required to model the local detail of the OprP permeation landscape, whereas the total charge contributes to its magnitude. These studies indicate that a locally accurate biomimetic design has captured the essentials of the structure/function relationship of the parent protein.
