Various methods exist for exploring different aspects of these mechanisms. However, techniques for investigating structural differences between the reduced and oxidized forms of an enzyme are limited. Here, we propose electrochemical small-angle X-ray scattering (EC-SAXS) as a novel method for potential-dependent structural analysis of redox enzymes and redox-active proteins.

Article Synopsis
  • The study in the Peruvian Amazon explores the prevalence of Indigenous and local knowledge (ILK) related to game, timber, and fish species, using a survey of 4,000 households.
  • ILK is found to be widely shared across different demographics, with resource users showing more agreement on knowledge about timber and fish compared to game.
  • The research highlights the potential of ILK in informing conservation policies, especially as it aligns with community practices like cooperative forest clearing in shifting cultivation.
