• Definitions:
• A small molecule that binds specifically to a larger one; for example, a hormone is the ligand for its specific protein receptor.
• A soluble molecule such as a hormone or a neurotransmitter which binds to a receptor
• any molecule that binds to the surface of another molecule, such as an immune cell RECEPTOR. For examples of receptors see CCR5, CXCR-4, CD4.
• A small molecule that binds to a receptor/protein.
• A ligand is a substance which is capable of binding specifically and reversibly with a binder. A ligand is termed an antigen when the binder is an antibody.
• A molecule that can bind to a receptor and thereby induce a signal in the cell, eg, a hormone.
• A (usually smaller) molecule which binds to a (usually larger) molecule such as an enzyme or protein, and is either transformed into something else or initiates a metabolic process (ie, a phytoestrogen - the ligand - binds to an estrogen receptor - the protein - and initiates a process such as ...
• A substance, for example, a hormone or compound that binds with a receptor protein
• (Latin, ligare = to bind) A molecule that binds to a specific binding site in a protein.
• A molecule or ion that sticks to the central atom in a complex. Common examples are ammonia, carbon monoxide, or water.
• A molecule such as a hormone or growth factor that binds to a specific site on a receptor protein.
• Ligands are atoms or groups bound to a "central atom" in a polyatomic molecular entity. The term is generally used in connection with metallic "central atoms". (IUPAC 1994 Phys. Org. Chem.) H, Cl, and CH 3 are the ligands in AlH 3 , AlCl 3 , and Al(CH 3 ) 3 , respectively. ...
• Any chemical that binds to a receptor. Ligands may be agonists or antagonists.
• The molecule, ion, or group bound to the central atom in a chelate or a coordination compound.
• Usually refers to a protein like BMP that is secreted and binds to a receptor (often on the surface of a cell.)
• An ion or molecule which bonds to a metal ion to form a complex, but which can exist in its own right in the absence of the complex.
• An organic molecule that donates the necessary electrons to form coordinate covalent bonds with metallic ions. ...
• A Lewis base that can coordinate to a metal atom.
• An anion or molecule which has electrons available for coordination bonding to a metal
• an atom or molecule or radical or ion that forms a complex around a central atom
• In biology, a ligand is a molecule that binds specifically to a receptor site of another cell, which allows for cell to cell recognition.
• In biochemistry, a ligand is an effector, a molecule that binds to a site on a macromolecule's surface by intermolecular forces, thereby changing the chemical conformation of the macromolecule. ...
