The selective, non-covalent, often stoichiometric, interaction of a molecule with one or more specific sites on another molecule. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a pigment, any general or particular coloring matter in living organisms, e.g. melanin. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with xanthophylls, any of several neutral yellow to orange carotenoid pigments containing oxygen. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any isoprenoid compound, isoprene (2-methylbuta-1,3-diene) or compounds containing or derived from linked isoprene (3-methyl-2-butenylene) residues. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a lipid.
