Abstract: Embodiments of a coding unit division decision method and device, an encoder and a storage medium are disclosed. The method includes: determining the current level of a target CU and obtaining a predicted level of the target CU according to a preset level prediction rule; determining whether the current level is smaller than the predicted level; in case of the current level smaller than the predicted level, performing division decisions on sub-CUs of the target CU to obtain first division decision results; in case of the first division decision results meeting a preset first skip condition, determining that a division decision result for the target CU is a result comprised of a division result for dividing the target CU into the four sub-CUs and the first division decision results respectively corresponding to the four sub-CUs of the target CU.

Abstract: Modified MEK1 peptides and modified MEK2 peptides, polynucleotides encoding those peptides, and methods for purifying the peptides and crystallizing them as peptide: cofactor: ligand complexes have been discovered. The three-dimensional structures of MEK1 peptide and MEK2 peptide, including the cofactor- and ligand-binding pockets, and uses of this information, for example, in molecular replacement and the modification, design and screening of compounds that may associate with MEK1, MEK2, or peptides structurally related thereto, have also been discovered.
