Chemistry students the world over are familiar with covalent bonds and hydrogen bonds. Now a study has revealed a strange variety of bond that acts like a hybrid of the two. Its properties raise ...

Hydrogen bonds are ubiquitous—and universally important—in chemistry. They give water its unique properties, speed or slow reactions, and hold together the three-dimensional shapes of DNA, proteins, ...

A research team has successfully developed a new approach to create switchable magnetic materials by using hydrogen bonding at the molecular level. This groundbreaking study shows how certain metal ...

WITHOUT them, life as we know it could not exist, yet the exact definition of the hydrogen bond – credited with keeping water liquid and giving DNA its signature helical shape – has always been fuzzy.

Hydrogen-bonding pairing regulates protein-ligand affinity; helps improve drug design. Infections with bacterium Clostridium difficile have rapidly become a significant medical problem in hospitals ...
