Which force can stabilize a DNA double-helix?

#Unit 1. Molecules and their Interaction Relevant to Biology
  1. Hydrophobic bases are found in the interior of the helix where each base pair is stabilized by the same number of hydrogen bonds.

  2. Hydrophilic sugar-phosphate groups are found on the exterior of the helix where they can interact with water.

  3. Non-covalent N-glycosidic bonds can form between nitrogenous bases in opposite strands in the helix.

  4. Covalent base-stacking interactions can occur between adjacent bases within the same strand in the helix.
