They are weak covalent bonds that are easily disrupted by heat. They are weak bonds formed between hydrocarbons in water. They are weak bonds formed between nonpolar groups. They are weak bonds only formed in the presence of water. Match the chemical groups shown in the first list with their names selected from the second list.
All protein molecules function by binding specifically to other molecules.
Many proteins can bind to more than one ligand. Binding between protein and ligand generally involves noncovalent bonds. Proteins are designed to bind their ligands as tightly as possible. Changes in the amino acid sequence of a protein can decrease binding to a ligand, even if the amino acid affected by the change does not lie in the binding site for the ligand.
