The process of folding proteins into their tertiary structures is spontaneous and involves bonds and intermolecular forces to make the structure stable, which are described below.

Experimental evidence of long-range attractive forces between cellular proteins has been obtained by researchers in France more than 50 years after the idea was first proposed. The forces are mediated ...

In spite of the importance of his contribution to the understanding of intermolecular forces, Boscovich is generally little known among materials scientists.

The presence of the novel intermolecular surface force -- which was demonstrated for the first time based on the present hydration analyses -- was a marked discovery.

There are greater intermolecular forces between the long chains compared with smaller simple molecules. This means that polymers have a higher melting point than many other organic molecules.

For scurrying upside down on smooth ceilings and other gravity-defying feats, lizards known as geckos may exploit intermolecular forces between the surface and billions of tiny stalks under their ...

The Surface Force Apparatus (SFA) is a highly sensitive instrument used to measure the forces between surfaces at the nanoscale, enabling groundbreaking research in surface science, colloidal ...
