Noncovalent Attractions in Biomolecules

65.1K
Noncovalent attractions are associations within and between molecules that influence the shape and structural stability of complexes. These interactions differ from covalent bonding in that they do not involve sharing of electrons.
Four types of noncovalent interactions are hydrogen bonds, van der Waals forces, ionic bonds, and hydrophobic interactions.
Hydrogen bonding results from the electrostatic attraction of a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to a strong-electronegative atom like oxygen,...

Initiation of Translation

39.1K
Initiating translation is complex because it involves multiple molecules. Initiator tRNA, ribosomal subunits, and eukaryotic initiation factors (eIFs) are all required to assemble on the initiation codon of mRNA. This process consists of several steps that are mediated by different eIFs.
First, the initiator tRNA must be selected from the pool of elongator tRNAs by eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2). The initiator tRNA (Met-tRNAi) has conserved sequence elements including modified bases at...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Social Psychology
  • Nonverbal Communication

Background:

  • Initial attraction research often overlooks nonverbal expressiveness.
  • Physical attractiveness is recognized, but dynamic emotional cues' impact is less understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relative influence of nonverbal expressiveness and physical attractiveness on initial impressions.
  • To determine if emotional expressiveness impacts likability independently of physical appearance.

Main Methods:

  • Fifty-four undergraduates completed measures of nonverbal expressiveness, self-monitoring, and extroversion.
  • Participants were videotaped during initial social encounters.
  • Observer ratings assessed participants' likability and physical attractiveness.

Main Results:

  • Emotionally expressive and extroverted individuals were rated more favorably.
  • Physically attractive individuals also received higher likability ratings.
  • The positive effects of expressiveness and extroversion on likability were distinct from physical attractiveness.

Conclusions:

  • Nonverbal expressiveness and extroversion are crucial factors in forming positive initial impressions.
  • Overall attractiveness perceptions should incorporate dynamic, emotional nonverbal behaviors.
  • Future research should explore the interplay of physical and nonverbal factors in attraction.
