Interacting selectively and non-covalently with copper (Cu) ions. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a transition metal ions; a transition metal is an element whose atom has an incomplete d-subshell of extranuclear electrons, or which gives rise to a cation or cations with an incomplete d-subshell. Transition metals often have more than one valency state. Biologically relevant transition metals include vanadium, manganese, iron, copper, cobalt, nickel, molybdenum and silver. Assists in the delivery of copper ions to target proteins or compartments. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any metal ion.
