Question

Refer to the bar graph below, Explain why the n→π* interactions contributes more to the overall stabilization of the protein than all the other interactions(C-H-O hydrogen bond,π-π interactions, C5 Hydrogen Bonds, Cation-π interactions, Sulfur-arene interactions, Anion-π interactions, Chalcogen bonds, X-H-π interactions) even though  n→π* is the weaker interaction.

Explain why that's the case for EACH of the bonds. 

I.e

Why n→π* interactions contribute more to the overall stabilization of the protein than C-H-O hydrogen bonds, even though  n→π* is the weaker interaction.

Why n→π* interactions contribute more to the overall stabilization of the protein than π-π interactions even though  n→π* is the weaker interaction.

Why n→π* interactions contribute more to the overall stabilization of the protein than C5 Hydrogen Bonds, even though  n→π* is the weaker interaction.

Why n→π* interactions contribute more to the overall stabilization of the protein than Cation-π interactions, even though  n→π* is the weaker interaction.

Why n→π* interactions contribute more to the overall stabilization of the protein than Sulfur-arene interactions, even though  n→π* is the weaker interaction.

Why n→π* interactions contribute more to the overall stabilization of the protein than Anion-π interactions,  even though  n→π* is the weaker interaction.

Why n→π* interactions contribute more to the overall stabilization of the protein than Chalcogen bonds, even though  n→π* is the weaker interaction.

Why n→π* interactions contribute more to the overall stabilization of the protein than X-H-π interactions, even though  n→π* is the weaker interaction.
