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

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

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

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

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

It should be a hydrogen bond because it is said stronger bond than Vander Waal forces.

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

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