The document discusses intermolecular forces of attraction between molecules. It begins by introducing the topic and noting that intermolecular forces determine properties like boiling points. It then defines the main types of intermolecular forces - London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole forces, ion-dipole forces, and hydrogen bonding. The document spends several paragraphs explaining each type of intermolecular force in more detail. It concludes by discussing how to predict the intermolecular forces that will be present between different molecules.
The attractive force which holds various constituents (atom, ions, etc.) together and stabilizes them by the overall loss of energy is known as chemical bonding. Therefore, it can be understood that chemical compounds are reliant on the strength of the chemical bonds between its constituents; The stronger the bonding between the constituents, the more stable the resulting compound would be.

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
Introduction:
RNA interference (RNAi) or Post-Transcriptional Gene Silencing (PTGS) is an important biological process for modulating eukaryotic gene expression.
It is highly conserved process of posttranscriptional gene silencing by which double stranded RNA (dsRNA) causes sequence-specific degradation of mRNA sequences.
dsRNA-induced gene silencing (RNAi) is reported in a wide range of eukaryotes ranging from worms, insects, mammals and plants.
This process mediates resistance to both endogenous parasitic and exogenous pathogenic nucleic acids, and regulates the expression of protein-coding genes.
What are small ncRNAs?
micro RNA (miRNA)
short interfering RNA (siRNA)
Properties of small non-coding RNA:
Involved in silencing mRNA transcripts.
Called “small” because they are usually only about 21-24 nucleotides long.
Synthesized by first cutting up longer precursor sequences (like the 61nt one that Lee discovered).
Silence an mRNA by base pairing with some sequence on the mRNA.
Discovery of siRNA?
The first small RNA:
In 1993 Rosalind Lee (Victor Ambros lab) was studying a non- coding gene in C. elegans, lin-4, that was involved in silencing of another gene, lin-14, at the appropriate time in the
development of the worm C. elegans.
Two small transcripts of lin-4 (22nt and 61nt) were found to be complementary to a sequence in the 3' UTR of lin-14.
Because lin-4 encoded no protein, she deduced that it must be these transcripts that are causing the silencing by RNA-RNA interactions.
Types of RNAi ( non coding RNA)

MECHANISM OF RNAI:
First the double-stranded RNA teams up with a protein complex named Dicer, which cuts the long RNA into short pieces.
Then another protein complex called RISC (RNA-induced silencing complex) discards one of the two RNA strands.
The RISC-docked, single-stranded RNA then pairs with the homologous mRNA and destroys it.
THE RISC COMPLEX:
RISC is large(>500kD) RNA multi- protein Binding complex which triggers MRNA degradation in response to MRNA
Unwinding of double stranded Si RNA by ATP independent Helicase
Active component of RISC is Ago proteins( ENDONUCLEASE) which cleave target MRNA.
DICER: endonuclease (RNase Family III)
Argonaute: Central Component of the RNA-Induced Silencing Complex (RISC)
One strand of the dsRNA produced by Dicer is retained in the RISC complex in association with Argonaute
ARGONAUTE PROTEIN :
1.PAZ(PIWI/Argonaute/ Zwille)- Recognition of target MRNA
2.PIWI (p-element induced wimpy Testis)- breaks Phosphodiester bond of mRNA.)RNAse H activity.
MiRNA:
The Double-stranded RNAs are naturally produced in eukaryotic cells during development, and they have a key role in regulating gene expression .
A brief information about the SCOP protein database used in bioinformatics.
The Structural Classification of Proteins (SCOP) database is a comprehensive and authoritative resource for the structural and evolutionary relationships of proteins. It provides a detailed and curated classification of protein structures, grouping them into families, superfamilies, and folds based on their structural and sequence similarities.
(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.

25. 25
Hydrogen bonding
Hydrogen bonding is a relatively strong
force of attraction between molecules, and
considerable energy is required to break
hydrogen bonds.
This explains the exceptionally high boiling
points and melting points of compounds
like water and hydrogen fluoride.
27. Many unusual
properties of water
are attributed to
hydrogen bonding.
In water, the
hydrogen of one
molecule is attracted
to the oxygen atom
of another molecule.

of the particles, and r is the distance between the
particles.

Predicting Intermolecular Forces of Attraction
● Covalent bonds, on the other hand, involve the
sharing of electrons between two nonmetal atoms.
● Recall that polarity of the molecule can be determined
by identifying the polarity of the bonds and the
molecular geometry for the compound.
44. 44
Predicting Intermolecular Forces of Attraction
● Polar covalent compounds are molecules with a net
dipole moment due to unequal sharing of electrons
between the atoms.
● This causes the molecule to have a partial positive (δ+)
and a partial negative (δ-) charges, which are also
known as a dipole.
45. 45
Predicting Intermolecular Forces of Attraction
● Polar covalent compounds can either have dipole-
dipole interactions or hydrogen bonding, depending
on the presence of H and its connectivity to other
atoms in the compound, and London dispersion
forces.
46. Notice that H2O,
HF, and NH3
have higher
boiling points
than the rest of
their groups
because they
can form

47. Remember
47
Some molecules have polar bonds but
are nonpolar as a whole. This is due to
the cancellation of the dipole moment
due to the molecular geometry.
48. 48
Predicting Intermolecular Forces of Attraction
● Nonpolar covalent compounds are molecules with
zero dipole moment due to equally shared electrons
between the atoms.
● The only intermolecular force present in these
compounds is the London dispersion forces.

How can one determine the
intermolecular force present for
a molecule?
53. Tips
53
In order to predict the intermolecular
forces between two molecules, you
must first determine the type of
compound present.
54. Let’s Sum It Up!
54
● Intermolecular forces of attraction are attractive
forces present in between molecules.
○ Ion-ion interaction is the interaction between
oppositely charged particles.
○ Ion-dipole interaction results from the
electrostatic attraction of a molecule
containing a dipole and an ion.
55. Let’s Sum It Up!
55
● Intermolecular forces of attraction are attractive
forces present in between molecules.
○ Dipole-dipole interactions are attractive forces
that are a moderately strong type of IMFA and
are present in between polar molecules.
○ Hydrogen bonding is a special kind of dipole-
dipole force that exists when hydrogen is
bonded to the most electronegative atoms,
namely F, O, or N.
56. Let’s Sum It Up!
56
● Intermolecular forces of attraction are attractive
forces present in between molecules.
○ London dispersion forces (LDFs) are the
weakest type of IMFA and are present in
between all electrically neutral molecules―polar
and nonpolar molecules.
○ Induced dipoles occur when a nonpolar atom
becomes polar due to the presence of an ion or
a dipole.
57. Let’s Sum It Up!
57
● The strength of ion-ion interactions is dependent
on the coulombic force between the particles. It is
directly proportional to the product of the charges
and inversely proportional to the distance between
the particles.
58. Let’s Sum It Up!
58
● The strength of ion-dipole interactions depends on
the charge of the ion present.
● The strength of LDFs depends on the polarizability
of the molecule.
● Polarizability refers to the ease at which the
electron cloud can be distorted.

60. Challenge Yourself
General Chemistry 2: 8.4. Calorimetry: Measurements of Energy 60
The strongest IMFA present in ethanol and
ethylene glycol is hydrogen bonding due to the
presence of the -OH group. However, there are
two -OH groups present in ethylene glycol, which
makes its IMFA stronger than ethanol. Ethane, on
the other hand, is a nonpolar molecule; therefore,
the strongest IMFA that will exist is the London
dispersion force.
