What are the four key Non-Covalent Molecular Interactions
Ionic Interactions (salt bridge)
Hydrogen Bonding
The Hydrophobic effect
Van der Waals forces
What is a "salt bridge"? What does it do?
Forms between residues of opposite charge in proteins.
Allows charged residues to be present within proteins and helps stabilize structure.
also: further apart the weaker they are.
What is the ionic energy equation?
E=kq1q2/D(r)^2
E=energy
k= constant
q1 and q2 = charged particle strength
D= Dialectric constant (characteristic of the medium)
r= distance
What atoms hydrogen bond? Why?
N,O, or F.
Due to high polarity of X-H bond.
What is the Hydrophobic effect? How does it work?
In which groups of non polar molecules stick together when surround by polar solution. Induces order into a system, lowering entropy, and thus energy.
ex: proteins with hydrophobic cores.
What is Van der Waals Force?
Between uncharged but POLARIZABLE groups.
Evdw = -A/r^6 +B/r^12 ???????do i have to know this?
