You are researching a cytoplasmic protein associated with a nerve disorder. The native form of the enzyme appears to be globular

protein; however, when a sample of the purified protein is treated with a chemical that reduces disulfide bonds, the enzymatic activity decreases dramatically and multiple globular proteins can be detected in the sample. What does this tell you about the protein?

Answer:

This signifies that the protein primarily comprises multiple polypeptide chains connected together with the help of disulfide bonds. The enzymes may be found in the form of dimers, trimers, or tetramers. Various examples of dimers, trimers, and tetramer proteins are known, of them, NEMOs dimers are considered to be held by disulfide bonds.  

Thus, it can be hypothesized that the enzyme under examination is a multimer held in combination by disulfide bonds, with each comprising catalytic sites. On breaking of disulfide bonds, the enzyme dissociates into its many single units.  

This illustrates the reduction in catalytic activity. Each active site in a single unit will work, however, at a gradual rate. This also shows detection of multiple globular proteins after disulfide reduction.

The Baltic Sea has very low dissolved oxygen content. What kind of condition prevails in this sea?
bonufazy [111]

The answer is; Dead Zone

These areas have anoxic condition means they have very little to zero dissolved oxygen hence cannot support marine/aquatic life. This is as a result of eutrophication  caused by algae blooms. This phenomenon is brought about by pollution of these water reservoirs. These algae bloom take up all the oxygen in the water during their mass decomposgion hence leave no dissolved oxygen for the rest of the marine life.

The remote sensing technique known as _________ has enabled scientists to map more than 800 square miles (2,100 square kilometer
allsm [11]

From what we know, we can confirm that the remote sensing technique described in the question is that of laser scanning.

<h3>What is laser scanning?</h3>

This is, as described in the question, a remote sensing technique. This is a method most often used for land surveys, in which lasers are pointed at the area, which gather information in the form of 3D coordinates, which are later compiled to create detailed maps of the region.

Therefore, we can confirm that the remote sensing technique used by the PACUNAM project in order to map more than 800 square miles of the Maya Biosphere Reserve in Guatemala, is that of laser scanning.
