|
molecular_function
|
A molecular process that can be carried out by the action of a single macromolecular machine, usually via direct physical interactions with other molecular entities. Function in this sense denotes an action, or activity, that a gene product (or a complex) performs. |
|
GO:0036094
|
small molecule binding
|
Binding to a small molecule, any low molecular weight, monomeric, non-encoded molecule. |
|
GO:0005488
|
binding
|
The selective, non-covalent, often stoichiometric, interaction of a molecule with one or more specific sites on another molecule. |
|
GO:0140104
|
molecular carrier activity
|
Directly binding to a specific ion or molecule and delivering it either to an acceptor molecule or to a specific location. |
|
GO:0043167
|
ion binding
|
Binding to an ion, a charged atoms or groups of atoms. |
|
GO:0046872
|
metal ion binding
|
Binding to a metal ion. |
|
GO:0043169
|
cation binding
|
Binding to a cation, a charged atom or group of atoms with a net positive charge. |
|
GO:0046914
|
transition metal ion binding
|
Binding to 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:0005507
|
copper ion binding
|
Binding to a copper (Cu) ion. |
|
GO:0016530
|
metallochaperone activity
|
Binding to and delivering metal ions to a target protein. |
|
GO:0016531
|
copper chaperone activity
|
Directly binding to and delivering copper ions to a target protein. |
