Descriptions Names[Advanced Search]

Elemental activities, such as catalysis or binding, describing the actions of a gene product at the molecular level. A given gene product may exhibit one or more molecular functions. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a RNA/DNA hybrid. 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 an RNA molecule or a portion thereof. Any nucleic acid binding activity involved in the initiation, activation, perpetuation, repression or termination of polypeptide synthesis at the ribosome. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any nucleic acid. Any molecular function by which a gene product interacts selectively with DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Functions during translation by binding nucleic acids during polypeptide synthesis at the ribosome. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with nucleic acid via hydrogen bonds between the bases of a gene product molecule and the bases of a target nucleic acid molecule.
