Non-covalent interactions are types of chemical interactions that do not involve the sharing of electrons, as seen in covalent bonds. Instead, these interactions are typically weaker and involve various forces that arise from the electrostatic attractions and repulsions between molecules or within different parts of the same molecule. Non-covalent interactions play crucial roles in many biological processes, such as protein folding, enzyme-substrate interactions, and the formation of lipid bilayers.
