In the active site of chymotrypsin, these phenomena create the oxyanion hole. These phenomena typically occurs over a length scale of 200 picometers, and nylon has several of them between adjacent chains. These phenomena between carbonyl and amide groups are responsible for forming the structure of alpha helices and beta sheets, and they are also present between (*) nucleotide bases on DNA. They are responsible for the high boiling point of water, since one water molecule can form four of these. They are stronger than van der Waals interactions but weaker than ionic or covalent bonds. For 10 points, name these interactions between an electronegative atom and an atom carrying the namesake light element.
