Why do proteins with multiple disulfide bonds stronger?

A disulphide bond is covalent.


The tertiary structure of a protein is the?

Is the many foldings and twists resulting from the interactions of the R group side chains; hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonding between polar groups, ionic bonding between charged groups, hydrophyllic interactions and covalent bonding between sulfur containing groups. All this contributes to the globular or other shape the mature protein will take.


How are lipids held together?

Lipids are one of the four major macromolecules but they are NOT true polymers because their individual lipid molecules are NOT connected by covalent bonds. Instead one lipid molecule is connected to another lipid molecule by hydrophobic interactions.


What type interactions are included in covalent bonds?

Covalent bonds are bonds which take place in chemistry and between atoms. Covalent bonds are bonds in which an electron from the outer valence shell of one atom is shared with the outer valence shell of another atom. There are several different types of interactions that result from this bond. Some of the interactions include agostic reactions, metal-to-metal reactions, and Pi bonding.


In creating a covalent bond it would be best to bind sulfur (S) to?

For S to make a covalent bond, it would be best to bind it to another non metal. Once such element would be H, thus making the S-H bond which is covalent. Another example would be to bind it to another S, making the disulfide bond, S-S which is also covalent.
