Study Notes
- Intermolecular forces are attractive or repulsive forces between molecules.
- These forces are critical in determining many physical and biological properties of matter.
Dipole-Dipole Bonding
- Occurs between molecules with permanent dipole moments due to polar bonds and asymmetric molecular structure.
- Both the drug and the binding site have partially negative and partially positive areas.
- Example: Hydrogen chloride (HCl) molecules interact through dipole-dipole forces.
Pi Stacking
- Stronger than dipole-dipole interactions.
- Occurs when the charge on one molecule interacts with the dipole moment of another.
- Typically happens between aromatic rings.
- The binding site can interact with different dipole-dipole charges on the same molecule.
Hydrogen Bond
- Weaker than ionic bonds but stronger than van der Waals forces.
- Takes place between a hydrogen atom and a heteroatom (nitrogen or oxygen).
- The hydrogen is bonding to an oxygen atom.
Induced-Dipole Interactions
- Occurs when the charge on one molecule induces a dipole on another.
- Can also happen between a quaternary ammonium ion and an aromatic ring.
Ion-Dipole Interactions
- Stronger than dipole-dipole interactions.
- Occurs when the charge on one molecule interacts with the dipole moment of another.
- Separate molecules with different charges can interact with the same binding site.
Van der Waals Interactions
- Very weak intermolecular forces.
- Occur between hydrophobic regions of the drug and its target.
- Areas of high and low densities cause temporary dipoles
Weak Interactions in Biological Reactions
- Intermolecular forces drive the function, structure, and dynamics of biomolecules.
- These reactions are important because they are strong, yet weak enough to be reversed.
- Allow for specificity and energy efficiency.
Hydrogen Bonds
- Take place between an electron-deficient hydrogen and an electron-rich heteroatom (O or N).
- The hydrogen atom is called a hydrogen bond donor (HBD).
- The oxygen or nitrogen atom is called a hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA).
Amino Acid Interactions
- Hydrogen bonding occurs between Serine, asparagine, and tyrosine.
- Ionic bonding between Lysine, arginine, histidine, aspartic acid, and glutamic acid.
- Hydrophobic interactions between alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, methionine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, and proline.
- Van der Waals forces occur between phenylalanine, leucine, and valine.
- Pi stacking occurs between phenylalanine, tyrosine, tryptophan, lysine, and arginine.
- Disulfide bonds occur between cysteine molecules.
