Abstract

A noncovalent bond is a type of chemical bond, usually between macromolecules, that does not involve the sharing of electrons, but rather involves more dispersed variations of electromagnetic interactions. Super molecular chemistry primarily uses noncovalent bonds between supermolecules. Unlike covalent bonds, noncovalent bonds are used to bond large molecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids. They are weaker than covalent bonds, but they are important for biochemical processes, such as double helix formation.
