|
binding
|
The selective, non-covalent, often stoichiometric, interaction of a molecule with one or more specific sites on another molecule. |
GO:0046872
|
metal ion binding
|
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any metal ion. |
GO:0043169
|
cation binding
|
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with cations, charged atoms or groups of atoms with a net positive charge. |
GO:0046914
|
transition metal ion binding
|
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a transition metal ions; a transition metal is an element whose atom has an incomplete d-subshell of extranuclear electrons, or which gives rise to a cation or cations with an incomplete d-subshell. Transition metals often have more than one valency state. Biologically relevant transition metals include vanadium, manganese, iron, copper, cobalt, nickel, molybdenum and silver. |
GO:0043167
|
ion binding
|
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with ions, charged atoms or groups of atoms. |
GO:0045340
|
mercury ion binding
|
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with mercury (Hg) ions. |
GO:0003674
|
molecular_function
|
Elemental activities, such as catalysis or binding, describing the actions of a gene product at the molecular level. A given gene product may exhibit one or more molecular functions. |
