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:0005488 binding The selective, non-covalent, often stoichiometric, interaction of a molecule with one or more specific sites on another molecule.
GO:0005515 protein binding Binding to a protein.
GO:0140299 molecular sensor activity Binding to a molecule and eliciting a change in the protein's activity in response to the intracellular level of that molecule.
GO:0098772 molecular function regulator activity A molecular function regulator regulates the activity of its target via non-covalent binding that does not result in covalent modification to the target. Examples of molecular function regulators include regulatory subunits of multimeric enzymes and channels. Mechanisms of regulation include allosteric changes in the target and competitive inhibition.
GO:0140784 metal ion sensor activity Binding to and responding, e.g. by conformational change, to changes in the cellular level of a metal ion.
GO:0140482 iron sensor activity Binding to and responding, e.g. by conformational change, to changes in the cellular level of iron.
