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:0140489	molecular template activity	The action of a molecule that provides a shape or a sequence mimicking or complementary to the final product, providing template for copying the original molecule's shape or sequence.
GO:0140490	microtubule nucleator activity	The action of a molecule that provides a shape mimicking the end of a microtubule to seed the formation of a new microtubule via self-assembly.
