The most important non covalent interaction for protein stability is Van der Waals interaction. 2. The most important non covalent interaction for protein folding is hydrophobic interaction. Does anyone recollect which book mentions this.. or any reference to the papers would be really helpful? While the points 1. and 2. may deviate for specific cases.. in general for most cases, these were valid, from my knowledge. Today.. Google says no.... for both these points 1 and 2... For both google says the most important ones are : hydrogen bond, hydrophobic interactions a and ionic interactions... Is it time to calibrate our old knowledge or disregard what google/AI says? Many thanks for your input.. You can send me a private reply if you wish not to spam others INBOX. Need to set this right.. as it was bothering me and I need to teach with the right knowledge. Many thanks... Best regards, Natesh-- ---------------------------------------------------------- "Live Simply and do Serious Things ..
