Question

The number of these interactions for orally active drugs is limited by Lipinski’s Rule of 5. This interaction occurs between every fourth residue of an alpha helix. The higher melting point of guanine-cytosine pairs are attributed to their ability to form three of these interactions, (15[1])while only two of them (15[1])occur between (15[1])(*) thymine and adenine. These interactions are responsible for the lattice structure of ice as well as the high boiling point, high surface tension, and low viscosity of water. For 10 points, name these weak intermolecular bonds between electronegative atoms and the namesake lightest element. ■END■
