u take chem?
hydrogen bonds are definitely stronger than hydrophobic interactions....arent they?
Disulphide is definitely the strongest, followed by ionic. As for hydrophobic and hydrogen bonds, that depends on the sequence of amino acids. A single hydrogen bond is very weak, so unless there are several of them, then it is the weakest. Hydrophobic interactions depend on the size of the R-groups. The bigger the group, the stronger the interactions are (they're basically instantaneous dipole-induced dipole interactions)
