The contribution of each H‐bond interaction in α‐helices was estimated in detail from the entire conformation energies, and the results were compared with those in the minimal H‐bond models, in which only H‐bond donors and acceptors exist with the capping methyl groups. The former ...

Proteins contain many hydrogen bond donors and acceptors, including amide (-NH) donors and carbonyl (-CO) acceptors along the peptide backbone and the polar functional groups on the side chains of individual amino acids. Let’s take a look at these properties and the corresponding importance of ...
Other weak hydrogen bonds can be established with aromatic groups (e.g. indole) acting as donors or acceptors [38, 39]. When the electronegative atoms D and A become closer, the barrier for transfer of the H atom between D and A is lowered. It can eventually become low enough so that...
hydrogen bond A chemical bond in which a hydrogen atom that is already bonded to an atom in a molecule forms a second bond with another atom, either in the same molecule or in a different one. The second atom is usually of a type that strongly attracts electrons, such as nitrogen or ox...
Aminobenzamides, for example, are commonly used as hydrogen-bond donors to form intramolecular hydrogen bonds with other O- or N-groups as hydrogen-bond acceptors [5,6]. Molecules 2017, 22, 83; doi:10.3390/molecules22010083 www.mdpi.com/journal/molecules Molecules 2017, 22, 83 2 of 14 The...
This covalency tends to be more extreme when acceptors bind hydrogens from more electronegative donors.Strong covalency in a hydrogen bond raises the questions: "To which molecule or atom does the hydrogen nucleusbelong?" and "Which should be labelled 'donor' and which 'acceptor'? According to ...

One way to assess hydrogen bonding strength experimentally is the measurement of hydrogen bonding equilibrium constants: hydrogen bond donors are measured against a common hydrogen bond acceptor and acceptors against a common donor. Abraham and co-workers found that data measured against different hydrogen...
Which of the following compounds can participate in hydrogen bonding with water? State which compounds can act only as hydrogen-bond donors, which can act only as hydrogen-bond acceptors, and which can act as both hydrogen-bond donors and hydrogen-bond ac ...
