This question might be a stretch, but I was just reading about inter- and intra-molecular forces.
And I found that "Intermolecular forces (IMFs) are forces of attraction or repulsion which act between neighboring particles (atoms, molecules, or ions)"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermolecular_force
Since proteins are complex molecules, and they constantly interact with each other and send "chemical messages" between messenger and receptor proteins, does that mean these "interactions" and "messages" would be in the weak "intermolecular forces"?

Thanks for any thoughts!
