Protein Interaction


Di sulphide bond: Covalent side chain cross link. Interaction between 2 cysteine recidues. They create a lot of rigidity. When we have 2 cysteines we create a disulphide bridge. The more cysteine the more disulphite bonds, the more bridges and the more rigid. This interactions are very strong. 
Ionic interactions: Lisine + aspartic acid (positive and negative attract each other). Attraction between positively and negatively charged. It is the second strongest.
Hydrogen bonds: responsible for peptide bond. It has a strong interaction. Interaction between hidrogent that is covalently bond to an electro-negative atom.
Hydrophobic interaction: not very strong, but exist. Fat lovers
Van der walse: at atomic level, they are weak but they can be at high numbers. They are the weakest.
