The digital data making up an image is stored in a file. The raw digital information for an image takes up a considerable amount of space. For example a 10 by 8 inch colour print scanned at 600 dpi (dots per inch) will result in about 85.5 Mb (Megabytes) of raw data.
Covalent bonding is a form of chemical bonding between two non metallic atoms which is characterized by the sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms and other covalent bonds.
Covalent bonds are the strongest chemical bonds contributing to protein structure. Covalent bonds arise when two atoms share electrons. In addition to the covalent bonds that connect the atoms of a single amino acid and the covalent peptide bond that links amino acids in a protein chain, covalent bonds between cysteine side chains can be important determinants of protein structure. Cysteine is the sole amino acid whose side chain can form covalent bonds, yielding disulfide bridges with other cysteine side chains: --CH 2-S-S-CH 2-- .
