Question

Specificity results from a complementary interaction between biomolecules. For example, one strand of DNA will only bind the one complementary DNA strand out of a mixture of distinct DNA strands. Choose all of the following that contribute to the specificity of the interaction between biomolecules.

Question 3 options:

	1) weak interactions lacking complementary bonds
	2) surfaces that contact have complementary shapes
	3) weak bonds
	4) bulk properties of water

Answer 1

The specificity of interaction between biomolecules is contributed by the complementary shapes of interacting surfaces which cause strong and specific interaction.

So option (2) is correct .
