Our Idea Stretching spider silk aligns protein chains and increases hydrogen bonds, enhancing the fiber’s strength, toughness, and elasticity.

Complementary hydrogen bonding interactions guide the molecules to form ribbon-type assembly in phospholipids, where the hanged crown-ether rings can be arranged into channels to transport ions ...

Unsymmetrical ureas can form multiple stable hydrogen bonds with proteins. Since drugs containing urea functional groups display unique biological activities when interacting with their targets, they ...

Researchers from Mainz and Leiden universities have devised a simple model system that can be used to break down fibrils, the cause of several diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, into ...

Discover how hydrogen bonding influences compound properties like boiling points, solubility, and molecular structure in our insightful article.

By converting their data into sounds, scientists discovered how hydrogen bonds contribute to the lightning-fast gyrations that transform a string of amino acids into a functional, folded protein.

Hydrogen bonds form between two atoms and a hydrogen atom. Atoms, such as oxygen, can be covalently bound to hydrogen, and giving the hydrogen (H) in the OH group a slight positive charge due to ...

Protein low-complexity domains (LCDs) stack together to form dynamic liquid droplets within the cell; alas, some pathogenic mutations in these regions encourage aggregation beyond this temporary ...

Dynamic hydrogen bonds and hydrogen-bond networks are ubiquitous in proteins and protein complexes. Functional roles that have been assigned to hydrogen-bond networks include structural plasticity for ...

Chemists in India have published what they say is the first evidence for hydrogen bonds with tetravalent carbon atoms in proteins. Himansu Biswal’s team at the National Institute of Science Education ...
