Nice explainations.

Question 1: Can London disperse force and Hydrophorbic force coexist in the same
Ag/Ab complex pair?
Question 2: You mentioned that you can increase the affinity by slightly
increase the Ag size, simply because 'more water molecules are squeezed out'.
Does this contradict the fact that Ab only recognize a certain fragment of Ag
specifically, no matter how big the Ag size is?
Question 3: What is the forth major force? :-)
Thanks a lot.
