Identifier	Name	Description
GO:0003674	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:0051540	metal cluster binding	Binding to a cluster of atoms including both metal ions and nonmetal atoms, usually sulfur and oxygen. Examples include iron-sulfur clusters and nickel-iron-sulfur clusters.
GO:0051536	iron-sulfur cluster binding	Binding to an iron-sulfur cluster, a combination of iron and sulfur atoms.
GO:0051539	4 iron, 4 sulfur cluster binding	Binding to a 4 iron, 4 sulfur (4Fe-4S) cluster; this cluster consists of four iron atoms, with the inorganic sulfur atoms found between the irons and acting as bridging ligands.
