Hydrogen Bonds

Weak bonds formed between a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to one electronegative atom and another electronegative atom, playing a critical role in the structure of water and biological molecules.

Ionic Interactions

Forces of attraction or repulsion between ions or molecules with different charges.

Molecular Chaperones

Proteins that help other proteins fold properly. Although chaperones do not dictate the folding pattern, they make the process more efficient.

Tertiary Structure

The overall three-dimensional structure of a protein molecule, formed by the folding and coiling of its secondary structures into a unique shape.
