Q

where do hydorgen bonds exists

A

exist between two atoms with opposite partial charges
-water is not required but it frequently forms hydrogen bonds)
-the partial charge is on a hydrogen atom
-partial negative charge is usually on a N or O atom

Q

ionic bonds in different environments

A

they are strong in dry environments and weak in aqueous environemnts
-in many aq solutions ionic bonds dissocoaute (why salt dissolves in water)

16
Q

what do non polar molecules do in water

A

they group together in water because water molecules for H bonds with on another

17
Q

hydrophobic interactions

A

association of non polar molecules (or non polar regions w/in a molecule)
-lessens interactions with water and other polar moleqs (or polar regions w/in moleq)

18
Q

van der waals forces

A

weak attractive forces between adjacent moleqs due to transient fluctuations in electrical charges

19
Q

what type of force stabilizes hydrophobic interactions

A

wan der waals forces

20
Q

do avn der waals forces initiate hydrophobic interactions

A

no hydrophobic interactions do

21
Q

what are critical for the 3D structure of many macromolecules

A

non covalent bonding

22
Q

what type of bond stabilizes the double stranded DNA struvture

A

hydorgen bonds

23
Q

non covalent bonds are necessary for what

A

proteins to be in their correct 3D shape (so they can function properly)

24
Q

structure determines what

A

fucntion

25
Q

what can stabilize the loop structure in protein

A

non covalent bond

26
Q

what are important for intermolecular interactions

A

non polar covalent bonds

27
Q

intermolecular interactions is between ____ moleqs

A

2

28
Q

exampels of intermolecular interactions

A

-hormone binding to receptor
-body binding to pathogen
-enzyme binding to substance
-transcription factor binding to DNA to regulate gene expression

29
Q

what are some non covalent bonds important points

A

-individually much weaker than covalent bonds (because they don’t share e-)
-collectively exhibit strength in proportion to their numbers
-changes in environment conditions can cause them to break and molecules to denature or dissociate

30
Q

what can disrupt non covalent bond

A

higher than optimum temperatures

31
Q

what happens to non covalent bonds in higher than optimum temps

A

cause the molecules to denature (unfold) or dissociate
-proteins
-nucleic acids
-lipids with hydrophobic tails

32
Q

what can disrupt hydorgen and ionic bonding

A

salt concentration and pH
