|
binding
|
The selective, non-covalent, often stoichiometric, interaction of a molecule with one or more specific sites on another molecule. |
|
GO:0008289
|
lipid binding
|
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a lipid. |
|
GO:0036094
|
small molecule binding
|
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a small molecule, any low molecular weight, monomeric, non-encoded molecule. |
|
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. |
|
GO:0005501
|
retinoid binding
|
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with retinoids, any member of a class of isoprenoids that contain or are derived from four prenyl groups linked head-to-tail. Retinoids include retinol and retinal and structurally similar natural derivatives or synthetic compounds, but need not have vitamin A activity. |
|
GO:0019840
|
isoprenoid binding
|
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any isoprenoid compound, isoprene (2-methylbuta-1,3-diene) or compounds containing or derived from linked isoprene (3-methyl-2-butenylene) residues. |
|
GO:0019842
|
vitamin binding
|
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a vitamin, one of a number of unrelated organic substances that occur in many foods in small amounts and that are necessary in trace amounts for the normal metabolic functioning of the body. |
|
GO:0016918
|
retinal binding
|
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with retinal, one of the forms of vitamin A. Retinal plays an important role in the visual process in most vertebrates, combining with opsins to form visual pigments in the retina. |
