Molecular binding

Molecular binding refers to the interaction between molecules that allows them to stick together. This can happen through various forces, such as hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, or van der Waals forces. These interactions are crucial in biological processes, such as how enzymes and substrates bind to facilitate reactions, or how DNA strands hold together. The strength and nature of these bonds determine how molecules behave, their stability, and how they can form larger structures, impacting everything from the function of a cell to the properties of materials.
