Intramolecular forces of attraction are often important in holding large molecules together. For example, some proteins fold into compact shapes, held together by attractive forces between nearby functional groups. A schematic of a folded protein is drawn here, with the protein backbone indicated by a blue-green ribbon, and various appendages drawn dangling from the chain. What types of intramolecular forces occur at each labeled site (A–F)?
