A
hydrogen bond results from an attractive intermolecular force between two
partial electric charges of opposite polarity. Although stronger than most other intermolecular forces, a hydrogen bond is much weaker than either an ionic bond or a covalent bond. Within macromolecules such as
proteins and
nucleic acids, hydrogen bonds can exist between two parts of the same molecule and constrain the molecule's 3D shape. More at:
