Country governance nexus with the financial stability of banks: the moderating effect of country’s income level by Ghosh, Protap K., Kharuddin, Saira B., Kamarudin, Fakarudin B.

“…This study also finds that a country’s high-income, upper-middle-income, and lower-middle-income moderate the relationships between a country’s governance indicators and the bank’s financial stability. This finding will help bankers, regulators, and policymakers adopt effective governance policies to strengthen the financial stability of the banking sector. …”

Homologous Lympho-epithelial Kazal-type inhibitor domains delay blood coagulation by inhibiting factor X and XI with differential specificity by Ramesh, Karthik, Lama, Dilraj, Tan, Kang Wei, Nguyen, Van Sang, Chew, Fook Tim, Verma, Chandra Shekhar, Mok, Yu Keung

“…A model of the LEKTI-protease complex revealed that FXaB has a narrower S4 pocket compared with FXIa and hence prefers only small side-chain residues at the P4 position, such as Ala in LEKTI domain 6. Mutational studies combined with a molecular complex model suggest that both a more flexible reactive-site loop and a bulky residue at the P4 position make LEKTI domain 4 a weaker but highly selective inhibitor of FXIa.…”
