Ancient cribellate silk is a dry adhesive that functions through van der Waals interactions. Viscid threads adhere more effectively than cribellate threads because of the high extensibility of their axial silk fibers, recruitment of multiple glue droplets, and firm adhesion of the viscid glue ...
The inhibitor binding results in an almost perfect fit with many van der Waals interactions and characteristic polar contacts, which explain the high inhibitory potential of staurosporine for protein kinases. At the same time, the structure defines a previously unknown range of enzyme flexibility, the...
Various chemical forces such as hydrophobic interactions, disulphide bonding, hydrogen bonding, salt bridges, and van der Waals interactions stabilize the folded protein. The three-dimensional shape is essential for the function of the ...
Why are ion dipole forces not considered van der waals forces? Why do molecules with high molecular dipoles tend to have high intermolecular forces? How do you determine the highest ion-dipole attraction or the lowest ion-dipole interaction? Explain with examples. Which of the following molecules...
van der Waals glassestwo-particle Lennard-Jones modelintermolecular interactionsBehavior of optical impurity spectra in van der Waals glasses is rationalized with the aid of a two-particle Lennard–Jones model of intermolecular interactions. Simple mathematical manipulations with the 6–12 potential yield ...
All-atom Amber14SB protein parameters with S-lipids and TIP3P water were used to describe intermolecular interactions together with PME electrostatics and Van der Waals cut-off at 1.5 nm. To estimate stability of all the systems, they were subjected to energy minimization, MD equilibration with ...
