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 ...
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 ...

Halogen bonding, akin to hydrogen bonding, is a noncovalent interaction between a positive region on a halogen atom and a negative site, such as a lone pair on a nitrogen or oxygen. Following on the ...
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 ...
