Formation of a hydrogen bond between the hydrogen side of one water molecule and the oxygen side of another water molecule. The presence of polar areas in the amino acids that makeup a protein allows for hydrogen bonds to form, giving the molecule a three-dimensional shape that is often vital to that proteins proper functioning. Electrostatic interactions Electrostatic interactions occur between oppositely charged atoms or groups. An important aspect of all electrostatic interactions in aqueous solution is the hydration of ions. Because water molecules are polar, they are attracted to cha
