5888229021Peptide bondThe chemical bond that forms between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of another amino acid0
5888236787Phosphodiester linkagecovalent bonds that join adjacent nucleotides between the -OH group of the 3' carbon of one nucleotide and the phosphate on the 5' carbon of the next1
5888242303C, H, N, O, P, SWhat are the most abundant elements in biological molecules?2

5888263786van der Waals radiiThe optimal packing distance that maximized the attractive van der Waals forces (London dispersion forces) between two non-covalently bonded molecules. (well, the sum of these 2 numbers is the optimal packing distance)4
5888273006hydrophobic effectThe association of a relatively non-polar molecule or group with other non-polar molecules.
