Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a carboxylic acid, any organic acid containing one or more carboxyl (COOH) groups or anions (COO-). Interacting selectively and non-covalently with fatty acids, aliphatic monocarboxylic acids liberated from naturally occurring fats and oils by hydrolysis. 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 oleic acid, the 18-carbon monounsaturated fatty acid (9Z)-octadec-9-enoic acid. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with linoleic acid, the 18-carbon unsaturated fatty acid (9Z,12Z)-octadeca-9,12-dienoic acid. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with icosanoids, any C20 polyunsaturated fatty acids or their derivatives, including the leukotrienes and the prostanoids. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with stearic acid, the 18-carbon saturated fatty acid octadecanoic acid. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with acyl-CoA, any derivative of coenzyme A in which the sulfhydryl group is in thiolester linkage with a fatty acyl group. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a monocarboxylic acid, any organic acid containing one carboxyl (COOH) group or anion (COO-). Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a lipid.
