Identifier Name Description
GO:0005488 binding The selective, non-covalent, often stoichiometric, interaction of a molecule with one or more specific sites on another molecule.
GO:0030246 carbohydrate binding Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any carbohydrate, which includes monosaccharides, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides as well as substances derived from monosaccharides by reduction of the carbonyl group (alditols), by oxidation of one or more hydroxy groups to afford the corresponding aldehydes, ketones, or carboxylic acids, or by replacement of one or more hydroxy group(s) by a hydrogen atom. Cyclitols are generally not regarded as carbohydrates.
GO:0036094 small molecule binding Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a small molecule, any low molecular weight, monomeric, non-encoded molecule.
GO:0048029 monosaccharide binding Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any monosaccharide. Monosaccharides are the simplest carbohydrates; they are polyhydroxy aldehydes H[CH(OH)]nC(=O)H or polyhydroxy ketones H[CHOH]nC(=O)[CHOH]mH with three or more carbon atoms. They form the constitutional repeating units of oligo- and polysaccharides.
GO:0009987 cellular process Any process that is carried out at the cellular level, but not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level.
GO:0005534 galactose binding Interacting selectively and non-covalently with the aldohexose galactose (galacto-hexose), a common constituent of many oligo- and polysaccharides.
GO:0008150 biological_process Any process specifically pertinent to the functioning of integrated living units: cells, tissues, organs, and organisms. A process is a collection of molecular events with a defined beginning and end.
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:0098630 aggregation of unicellular organisms The clustering together of unicellular organisms in suspension form aggregates.
GO:0000128 flocculation The reversible, non-sexual aggregation of single-celled organisms in suspension to form aggregates of many cells known as flocs.
GO:0098743 cell aggregation The clustering together and adhesion of initially separate cells to form an aggregate. Examples include the clustering of unicellular organisms or blood cells in suspension and the condensation of mesenchymal cells during cartilage formation.
GO:0044764 multi-organism cellular process Any process that is carried out at the cellular level which involves another organism of the same or different species.
GO:0051704 multi-organism process A biological process which involves another organism of the same or different species.
GO:0000501 flocculation via cell wall protein-carbohydrate interaction The reversible, non-sexual aggregation of cells mediated by the binding of proteins in the cell wall of one cell to carbohydrates in the cell wall of another cell. An example of this process is found in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, in which it is pH- and calcium-dependent.
GO:0036349 galactose-specific flocculation The non-sexual aggregation of single-celled organisms mediated by the binding of cell wall proteins on one cell to galactose residues on the other.
