Question 21Two macromolecules, such as proteins, can adhere tightly and specifically to each other. How can weak intermolecular forces lead to such strong adherence?O the weak forces are readily converted to covalent bonds, thus leading to strong adherence between moleculesO if the weak forces are correctly aligned they can become as strong as covalent bondsO adhesion is strong because the weak forces can be involved in condensation reactionsO the weak forces can become very strong once non-polar groups are excluded from the inside of the moleculesO adherence can be quite strong by having many weak forces involved in molecular adhesion• Previous

Proteins when binds to a molecule it does so with great specificity and is tightly bound. There are…
