Which of the following is not true?

Deoxyribonucleic acid is stabilized by hydrogen bonds and London dispersion forces.
van der Waals forces can exist between two different parts of the same large molecule.
The level of protein structure that is stabilized by London dispersion forces is called the secondary structure.
The level of protein structure that is stabilized by London dispersion forces is called the tertiary structure

Answer 1

The level of protein structure that is stabilized by London dispersion forces is called the secondary structure. This statement is not true, as the secondary structure is stabilized by hydrogen bonds that are formes between hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen of the peptide bonds.
