Here, the authors devise an alternative descriptor based on hydrogen bond rotations, and apply it to describe protein structures using a vocabulary of 30 hydrogen-bonding motifs.

Hydrogen Bonds Shown To Play 'Conserved' Role In Protein Folding Date: February 13, 2006 Source: Duke University Summary: By changing individual atoms in key places in proteins, Duke University ...

The contribution of hydrogen bonding to the thermodynamics of protein folding is not well understood. The strength of hydrogen bonds is now found to depend on the polarity of their ...

Hydrogen bonding, so significant in biology, is finally being exploited as a primary adsorption mechanism. BIA Separations shows how. Its salt-tolerant approach separates proteins by size.

This structure makes protein-based materials as strong as steel, even though the hydrogen bonds that hold them together are 100 to 1,000 times weaker than the metallic bonds in steel. Skip to main ...

Something as seemingly ephemeral as one little hydrogen bond, according to researchers led by Steven McKnight and Glen Liszczak, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas. In the July 1 ...

February 14, 2008 Protein's strength lies in h-bond cooperation ...

Humid air causes hydrogen bonds to form between the proteins in your hair, triggering curls and frizz. Image via Flickr user Simon Gotz If you have long hair, you probably don’t need to look up ...

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.
