Type de liaison moléculaire où l'hydrogène établit un pont entre deux atomes fortement électronégatifs (azote, oxygène). Dans les macromolécules, elle assure le maintien de la structure. Ce type de liaison se répète un grand nombre de fois tout le long de la molécule concernée. 3, record 1, French, - liaison%20hydrog%C3%A8ne
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Les forces unissant antigène et anticorps sont de quatre types. [...] Les liaisons hydrogène sont des liaisons de faible énergie (0, 5 à 2 kcal/mole) entre atomes électropositifs (hydrogène) et atomes électronégatifs (oxygène ou azote). La stabilité de ces liaisons dépend de la présence de molécules d'eau. Elle augmente quand la température diminue. 4, record 1, French, - liaison%20hydrog%C3%A8ne
