Effect of Temperature and pH. The temperature dependence of enzymes often follows the rule that a 10°C increase in temperature doubles the activity. However, this is only tme as long as the enzyme is not deactivated by the thermal denaturation characteristic for enzymes and other proteins. The three-dimensional stmcture of an enzyme molecule, which is vital for the activity of the molecule, is governed by many forces and interactions such as hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interactions, and van der Waals forces. At low temperatures the molecule is constrained by these forces as the temperature increases, the thermal motion of the various regions of the enzyme increases until finally the molecule is no longer able to maintain its stmcture or its activity. Most enzymes have temperature optima between 40 and 60°C. However, thermostable enzymes exist with optima near 100°C. 

The underlying cau.se of DNA binding to nitrocellulo.se is not clear, but probably involve.s a combination of hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interactions, and salt bridges. 

Salt bonds, hydrophobic interactions, and van der Waals forces participate in maintaining molecular structure.

Enzymes can be adsorbed on various types of materials e.g. silica gel, metal oxides, glass and organic polymers. Depending on the natnre of the carrier material, adsorption can be accomplished by hydrogen bonding hydrophobic interaction and ionic forces. 

In the PEC system of interest, complexation effects are considered to be characterized by several interactions cooperative, concerted, complementary and those due to microdomains [42]. Individual contributions are represented by a free energy thermodynamic function. For a PEC, the predominant term is the electrostatic interaction. Other terms include hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interactions and van der Waals forces. Because individual components are difficult to evaluate [43] and their ratio is impossible to control independently, a superposition of different interactions is suggested. This approach is used in the present work. 

Despite the fact that the neural network literature increasingly contains examples of radial basis function network applications, their use in genome informatics has rarely been -reported—not because the potential for applications is not there, but more likely due to a lag time between development of the technology and applications to a given field. Casidio et al. (1995) used a radial basis function network to optimally predict the free energy contributions due to hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions and the unfolded state, with simple input measures. 

The types of noncovalent interactions that are involved in reversible binding of a signal molecule and its receptor include hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interactions, and various types of electrostatic interactions, for example, salt bridges. 

In the binding of the complementary sites of the affinity ligand and of the isolated substances, ionic bonds or hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions and Van der Waals-London forces may participate to various extents. Therefore, the optimum conditions for sorption and desorption will vary in particular instances. In general, the starting conditions for sorption should be selected so as to cause maximum sorption of the substance to be isolated. The choice of the starting buffer is completely dependent on the optimum conditions of a specific complex formation... 

Coacervation in aqneous phase can be classified into simple and complex. In simple coacervation, the polymer is salted ont by the action of electrolytes (sodium sulfate) or desolvated by the addition of an organic miscible water solvent, such as ethanol, or by increasing/decreasing temperature. In these cases, the macromolecule-macromolecule interactions are promoted, instead of the macromolecule-solvent interaction (Martins, 2012). Complex coacervation is defined as a Uqnid-liquid phase separation promoted by electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interactions, and polarization-induced attractive interactions occurring between two oppositely charged polymers in aqneons solution (Xiao et al., 2014). This technique is based on the ability of cationic and anionic water-solnble polymers to interact in water to form a liquid polymer-rich phase called complex coacervate (Martins, 2012). 

Some hydrogels are formed by physical interactions between pol)iner chains. These interactions include hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interactions, and ionic interactions. Several types of physical gels are listed in Table 1.
