z Protein Stabilizing Bonds
We all know proteins are very important for our body—they help in
things like growth, repair, and many body functions.
But for a protein to work properly, it must have a proper shape.
This shape is maintained by different types of bonds, which are
called protein stabilising bonds.
, 1.z Hydrogen Bonds
First is hydrogen bonds
These are weak bonds formed between hydrogen and atoms like
oxygen or nitrogen help in forming structures like alpha helix and beta
sheets.
Even though they are weak, when many of them come together, they
make the structure stable.
2. Ionic Bonds
Next are ionic bonds, also called salt bridges.
In ionic bonding, electrons are transferred from one atom
to another resulting in the formation of positive and negative ions.
