1. Hydrogen Bonding as Essential for Life
Life on earth would not exist without the many bonds observed throughout Biochemistry. There is two types of force the intramolecular force which exist between the atoms in a molecule such as Covalent, Ionic and Metallic bonding, the second force being intermolecular force that exist between neighboring molecules such a Hydrogen bonding, dispersion forces and dipole-dipole bonds. Hydrogen bonding being a weak chemical bond is one of the most important bonds present in essential biological molecule. Nearly all molecules have London dispersion forces, Hydrogen Bonds Fig. 1 form between molecule...
