Question

select all that apply van der waals forces are important in _______. binding proteins to each other the association of lipid molecules within cell membranes the solvent properties of water protein folding

Explanation:

Van der Waals forces are weak intermolecular forces. They play a role in protein - protein interactions, lipid - lipid interactions in cell membranes, and protein folding. The solvent properties of water are mainly due to hydrogen - bonding, not Van der Waals forces.

Answer:

• binding proteins to each other
• the association of lipid molecules within cell membranes
• protein folding
