When nonpolar side chains of amino acid units in a protein interact with other nonpolar side chains in the protein (or in another protein), the force involved is

Select one:

a. dispersion.

b. ionic bonding (salt bridges).

c. covalent bonding through disulfide bonds.

d. hydrogen bonding.

In proteins, the hydrogen bonding responsible for the secondary structure of a protein generally takes place between backbone carbonyl oxygen atoms and amide hydrogen atoms. In contrast, the hydrogen bonding that contributes to tertiary structure generally occurs between amino acid side chains. Two serine residues are shown below, with possible hydrogen bonds shown in green. Which bonds depict the hydrogen bonding that occurs between serine residues and contributes to tertiary structure?
