What kinds of bonds and interactions stabilize protein structure?
0:19
Several types of interactions stabilize protein structure: peptide bonds form the backbone, hydrogen bonds stabilize secondary structures, hydrophobic interactions drive folding by clustering nonpolar R groups in the protein interior, ionic bonds form between oppositely charged R groups, and disulfide bridges form between cysteine residues.
