What bond has a very weak interaction between non-polar molecules that is important in protein shape and membrane structure?
|
|
Hydrogen bond
|
|
|
Hydrophobic bond
|
|
|
Ionic bonds
|
|
|
van der Waals forces
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -van der Waals Interactions. Like hydrogen bonds, van der Waals interactions are weak attractions or interactions between molecules.
Detailed explanation-2: -As we know the weak interactions are very weak, all these weak interactions and the formation of disulfide bond contribute to the stabilization of folded protein.
Detailed explanation-3: -The hydrophobic effect describes the energetic preference of nonpolar molecular surfaces to interact with other nonpolar molecular surfaces and thereby to displace water molecules from the interacting surfaces. The hydrophobic effect is due to both enthalpic and entropic effects.
