Hydrogen bonds are responsible for the unique properties of water and they loosely pin biological polymers like proteins and DNA into their characteristic shapes.
Weak noncovalent interaction (mainly electrostatic) bond between a significantly positive hydrogen atom and an electronegative atom (usually nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine); consequently, an important structural element in water, proteins, and other biopolymers, as well as in the recognition (specific binding) of small molecules by biopolymers.

A weak bond between molecules, or different parts of the same molecule, formed by a restricted form of sharing of electrons between atoms. Readily formed between -OH (hydroxyl) and NH2 (amino) groups and oxygen or nitrogen atoms. They are important in proteins and are the mechanism for base-pairing in nucleic acids. They are easily disrupted by heat. They are responsible for base-pairing in nucleic acids and for the maintenance of 3D structure in proteins.
A type of chemical bond caused by elecromagnetic forces, occuring when the positive pole of one molecule (e.g. water) is attracted to and forms a bond with the negative pole of another molecule (e.g. another water molecule).
A bond formed by a hydrogen atom to an electronegative atom, and is denoted --- H-B.
An interaction between an electropositive hydrogen (bonded to an electronegative atom) and an electronegative atom it is not bonded to.
A relatively weak bond formed between a hydrogen atom (which is covalently bound to a nitrogen or oxygen atom) and a nitrogen or oxygen atom with an unshared electron pair. Weak interactions between electro-negative atoms and hydrogen atoms (electro-positive) that are linked to other electro-negative atoms.
a very strong attraction between a hydrogen atom which is attached to an electronegative atom, and an electronegative atom which is usually on another molecule. For example, the hydrogen atoms on one water molecule are very strongly attracted to the oxygen atoms on another water molecule.
(H-bonding). An electrostatic attraction between a hydrogen atom in one polar molecule (as of water) and a small electronegative atom (as of oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine) in usually another molecule of the same or a different polar substance.
a strong secondary interatomic bond which exists between a bound hydrogen atom (its unscreened proton) and the electrons of adjacent atoms.
A weak bond between two atoms (one of which is hydrogen) with partial but opposite electrical charges.
The electrical attraction between the slightly positive hydrogen atoms of one molecule and a slightly negative atoms in another molecule.
The hydrogen atoms in water are very positive, because the oxygen atom strongly withdraws the electrons in the O-H bonds. The hydrogen atoms on adjacent molecules are attracted to the oxygen atoms forming a bond which is stronger than the usual polar attraction, but less strong than a typical covalent bond. This accounts for the very high boiling point of water compared with other similar weight molecules.
a special type of intermolecular interaction whereby the hydrogen of one molecule is attracted to the oxygen, nitrogen, or flourine of another molecule (if the molecule is large enough to fold on itself, this attraction can be between the hydrogen of one molecule and an oxygen, nitrogen or flourine of the same molecule). This interaction will increase the overall stability of the substance or molecule. www.biologylessons.sdsu.edu/ta/classes/lab3/glossary.html
A chemical bond which arises from the attraction between the slight positive charge on a hydrogen atom and a slight negative charge on a nearby fluorine, oxygen, or nitrogen atom. Weak bonds, but found in great quantities in proteins, nucleic acids, and other biological macromolecules.
The electrons in a water molecule are not distributed equally, because the oxygen atom is a bigger, more robust fellow which grabs more than its fair share. The end result is that the oxygen atom has an overall negative charge, while the two hydrogen atoms are left feeling somewhat on the positive side. This unequal distribution of charge means that the hydrogen atoms are attracted to anything with a negative bias; for example, the oxygen atom of another water molecule. The resulting bond is known as a hydrogen bond.

A relatively weak, localised bond between the polar hydroxyl groups of water and the hydroxyl groups on starch. The actual bond is between the negatively charged oxygen and the positively charged hydrogen. Hydrogen bonds are of fundamental importance in the behaviour of starch and its derivatives as they play a role in granule structure, gelatinisation, retrogradation, viscosity stability etc.
A weak interaction between the hydrogen atom on one molecule and a negatively charged portion of another molecule.
A dipole-dipole attraction in which a hydrogen atom bridges two electronegative atoms. One half of the hydrogen bond is a covalent bond and the other is an electrostatic bond. The example below shows the hydrogen bonds formed between cytosine and guanine. Figure 5 Hydrogen Bonding

A strong dipole-dipole attraction between two or more molecules, at least one of which has a hydrogen atom bonded to an electron-withdrawing atom. More specifically, a weak bond formed between a hydrogen atom on one molecule which has developed a partial positive charge because of its bonding to an electronegative atom (commonly N, O, or F) and an electronegative atom on another molecule.
A hydrogen bond is a special type of attractive interaction that exists between an electronegative atom and a hydrogen atom bonded to another electronegative atom. This type of bond always involves a hydrogen atom, thus the name. Hydrogen bonds can occur between molecules (intermolecularly), or within different parts of a single molecule (intramolecularly).Compendium of Chemical Terminology, http://goldbook.iupac.org/H02899.html hydrogen bond, accessed 15 Jan 2007.
