Textbooks currently define a hydrogen bond as a weak electrostatic interaction that forms between a lone pair of electrons on an electronegative atom and a hydrogen atom bonded to another strongly ...
Figure 1: Examples of triple hydrogen-bond arrays and their association constants in various solvents. Figure 6: UV/vis competition experiment in which 13 is displaced from 12·13 by a large excess of ...
Nobel Laureate Linus Pauling, Ph.D., predicted in 1939 that hydrogen bonding would prove to be more significant in the field of biology than any other type of chemical bond. His prediction has been ...
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-bonding pairing regulates protein-ligand affinity; helps improve drug design. Infections with bacterium Clostridium difficile have rapidly become a significant medical problem in hospitals ...
