Robotic Materials With Bioinspired Microstructures for High Sensitivity and Fast Actuation
Advanced Science, EarlyView.In the review paper, design rationale and approaches for bioinspired sensors and actuators in robotics applications are presented. These bioinspired microstructure strategies implemented in both can improve the performance in several ways. Also, recent ideas and innovations that embed robotic materials with logic and computation with it are part of the

Extraction of Spore-lytic Enzyme from Clostridium perfringens Spores [PDF]
Microbiology, 1981 Various chemical reagents known to extract spore coat protein were used to extract spore-lytic enzyme (SLE) from intact and germinated spores of Clostridium perfringens. Of the reagents tested, 7.2 M-urea plus 10% (v/v) mercaptoethanol, pH 2.85, solubilized the most SLE activity per mg spores.

Two Novel S‐methyltransferases Confer Dimethylsulfide Production in Actinomycetota
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study identifies two novel S‐adenosine‐methionine‐dependent methyltransferases, MddM1 and MddM2, in actinomycetes from the Mariana Trench. These enzymes can convert toxic hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and methanethiol (MeSH) into dimethylsulfide (DMS), serving as a cellular detoxification and oxidative stress response.
