Role of Non-Covalent Interactions in Living Systems
Life fundamentally relies on non-covalent interactions, which can be categorized as either specific or nonspecific. Specific non-covalent interactions include enzyme-substrate binding and selective ion transport, whereas nonspecific interactions include lipid-lipid and lipid-protein associations.
