Dead Matter, Living Machines: Repurposing Crustaceans' Abdomen Exoskeleton for Bio‐Hybrid Robots

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Crustacean exoskeletons, repurposed from food waste, are engineered into sustainable bending actuators combining biotic structure with synthetic control. The augmented exoskeletons achieve rapid and robust motion with lightweight body and can be used as part of robotic manipulators, grippers and swimmers.

The Impact of Revenue Diversification on Bank Profitability and Stability: Empirical Evidence from South Asian Countries

International Journal of Financial Studies, 2018
This paper is a contribution to the ongoing debate on the benefits and drawbacks of bank revenue diversification. Revenue diversification may benefit banks if diversified activities are inherently less risky and possess high returns, while it may hurt ...

Structure‐Guided Engineering of a Promiscuous O‐Methyltransferase for a SAM Regeneration Biocatalysis Platform of Methylated Pharmaceuticals

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A substrate promiscuous and regioselective O‐methyltransferase, SmOMT, is functionally and structurally characterized. A double mutant, SmOMTE152A/I306A, exhibited enhanced catalytic activity. By coupling this mutant with a mutant halide methyltransferase, AtHMTV140T, for SAM regeneration, a superior artificial fusion enzyme, AtHMTV140T‐L95‐SmOMTE152A ...

Multi‐View Biomedical Foundation Models for Molecule‐Target and Property Prediction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Molecular foundation models can provide accurate predictions for a large set of downstream tasks. We develop MMELON, an approach that integrates pre‐trained graph, image, and text foundation models and validate our multi‐view model on over 120 tasks, including GPCR binding.

Generating Dynamic Structures Through Physics‐Based Sampling of Predicted Inter‐Residue Geometries

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
While static structure prediction has been revolutionized, modeling protein dynamics remains elusive. trRosettaX2‐Dynamics is presented to address this challenge. This framework leverages a Transformer‐based network to predict inter‐residue geometric constraints, guiding conformation generation via physics‐based iterative sampling. The resulting method

Historical patterns and recent changes in the relationship between bank holding company size and risk [PDF]

What is the relationship between a bank holding company's size and the risk it takes? The authors find that although the level of risk at large and small bank holding companies has not differed significantly, important distinctions exist in the nature of

Parasitic Plant–Host Interactions: Molecular Mechanisms and Agricultural Resistance Strategies

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Parasitic plants devastate global agriculture through sophisticated molecular interactions with host crops. This review synthesizes current understanding of parasitic plant‐host interactions, from strigolactone‐mediated germination and haustorium formation to host defense mechanisms.

Synergistic Tuning of Conformational Dynamics, Electron Tunneling, and Substrate Positioning Enhances Electron Transfer in a P450 Chimera for Calcifediol Biosynthesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A synergistic electron transfer (ET) optimization strategy modulating conformational dynamics, ET pathway, and substrate orientation is proposed for self‐sufficient cytochrome P450s. Guided by this strategy, a P450 variant with improved ET and catalytic efficiency was identified, and the underlying molecular basis was revealed by computational analysis.

Investigating the Effect of Geographical Diversification on Banks Performance [PDF]

مطالعات مالی و بانکداری اسلامی, 2018
The impact of geographical diversification on the performance of banks is a question that banks always face, and one of the daily issues to respond. This study also seeks to answer the question of how geographic diversification affects the performance of
