proteopedia linkproteopedia linkMolecular Interactions is one of the 12 themes of the BioMolViz framework. The theme is about covalent and noncovalent bonding governing ligand binding and subunit‐subunit interactions. Within the theme, there are two groups of competencies. This page provides exemplary 3D scenes with questions that invoke these competencies.

Competencies
| 1. Predicting the existence of an interaction using structural information (i.e. atomic distances).
- .
- You can turn off the
-
- Explaining the electronic origin of the different non‐covalent interactions using appropriate 3D renderings.
- Ranking the relative strengths of covalent and non-covalent interactions in a given 3D rendering.
2. Evaluating the effect of the local environment on molecular interactions.
- You can turn off the
- Identifying small molecules (e.g. solvent, salt ions, metals, detergents) in a local environment.
-
- Predicting how the pKa of an ionizable group depends on its local environment.
- Proposing changes to the local environment that would yield a desired change in a molecular interaction.
- Guessing, based on molecular visualization tools, which intermolecular force is most critical to stabilizing a given interaction.
