Hydrogen Bond Donor Acceptor
On the hydrogen bond donor and the receptor
The formation of all things is related to the subtle force. The hydrogen bond is the key to the interaction between molecules. Among them, the roles of the hydrogen bond donor and the recipient complement each other. If the combination of yin and yang, it will transform into the state of all things.
The hydrogen bond donor has an active hydrogen atom, and its electron cloud density is low, just like the smart yang, with the nature of giving out. This active hydrogen is often connected to atoms with high electronegativity, such as nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, etc. Due to the difference in electronegativity, hydrogen atoms are slightly positive and tend to give out.
The hydrogen bond receptor is an atom or group with solitary pairs of electrons, which is like a stable yin and has the ability to accept. The common ones are also atoms such as nitrogen, oxygen, and fluorine. The solitary pairs of electrons can attract each other with the hydrogen atoms of the hydrogen bond donor to form hydrogen bonds.
The combination of the two uses hydrogen bonds as a bridge to build a complex and orderly microscopic world. Its function may maintain the structure of biological macromolecules, make proteins fold into specific conformations, and stabilize the double helix of nucleic acids; or affect the physical properties of substances, such as melting point, boiling point, and solubility.
The subtlety of chemistry and the synergy between hydrogen bond donors and receptors are the keys to the properties and reactions of substances. In research and application, by gaining insight into the relationship between the two and providing good guidance, we can open up new avenues in many fields such as new material creation and drug development, and explore the endless mysteries of the microscopic world.
