| Van der waal's force is a weak kind of force. Why would it be the most stabilizing force for nucleic acids? |

| It's Van der Waal forces they are significant in base stacking. |

|
| Yeah. Van der Waal forces act as stacking forces which play an important role in stabilizing the DNA structure. |

| Van der waals interactions between adjacent bases and hydrogen bonding between complementary strands. |

| Van der Waals forces are weak but they are in high concentrations collectively they play important role in stabilizing the DNA. |

| I think hydrogen bonding is a more stabilizing force than Van Der Waals. |

How come a weak hydrogen force become brought a stable compound?
Please give me an explanation. |
