Question

Explain in brief how the non-covalent weak interactions play a major role in biomolecular structure.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The type of intermolecular interactions of a set of molecules determines how they are grouped together. In the case of biological molecules, these types of non-covalent weak interactions have a great importance in the development of the vital phenomenon, since they allow the interaction of the different biomolecules with each other.

Explanation:

Non-covalent weak interactions are characterized by being long-range, that is, they act at a distance greater than 28 and by their weak binding energy (their binding energy is typically 10 to 100 times lower) so they can be created and break easily. These interactions are responsible for the final structure of macromolecules, for the specific binding between molecules, that is, for molecular recognition, for the self-organization processes of macromolecular and cellular structures, and for everything that involves movement and communication at the cellular and subcellular level. Its importance, therefore, is fundamental for all structural and functional aspects of living beings.
