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:1901363
|
heterocyclic compound binding
|
Binding to heterocyclic compound. |
GO:0043167
|
ion binding
|
Binding to an ion, a charged atoms or groups of atoms. |
GO:0043168
|
anion binding
|
Binding to an anion, a charged atom or group of atoms with a net negative charge. |
GO:0043177
|
organic acid binding
|
Binding to an organic acid, any acidic compound containing carbon in covalent linkage. |
GO:0031406
|
carboxylic acid binding
|
Binding to a carboxylic acid, an organic acid containing one or more carboxyl (COOH) groups or anions (COO-). |
GO:0030246
|
carbohydrate binding
|
Binding to a 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:0019842
|
vitamin binding
|
Binding to 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:0048029
|
monosaccharide binding
|
Binding to a 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:0031418
|
L-ascorbic acid binding
|
Binding to L-ascorbic acid, (2R)-2-[(1S)-1,2-dihydroxyethyl]-4-hydroxy-5-oxo-2,5-dihydrofuran-3-olate; L-ascorbic acid is vitamin C and has co-factor and anti-oxidant activities in many species. |
