Abstract

Membrane proteins, including ion channels, became the focus of structural proteomics midway through the 20th century. Methods for studying ion channels are diverse and include structural (X-ray crystallography, cryoelectron microscopy, currently X-ray free electron lasers) and functional (e.g., patch clamp) approaches. This review highlights the evolution of approaches to study of the structure of cardiac ion channels, provides an overview of new techniques of structural biology concerning ion channels, including the use of lipo- and nanodiscs, and discusses the contribution of electrophysiological studies and molecular dynamics to obtain a complete picture of the structure and functioning of cardiac ion channels. Electrophysiological studies have become a powerful tool for deciphering the mechanisms of ion conductivity and selectivity, gating and regulation, as well as testing molecules of pharmacological interest. Obtaining the atomic structure of ion channels became possible by the active development of X-ray crystallography and cryoelectron micro-scopy, and, recently, with the use of XFEL.

Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
