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 folic acid, pteroylglutamic acid. Folic acid is widely distributed as a member of the vitamin B complex and is essential for the synthesis of purine and pyrimidines. 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 any organic compound that is weakly basic in character and contains an amino or a substituted amino group. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a vitamin, one of a number of unrelated organic substances that occur in many foods in small amounts and that are necessary in trace amounts for the normal metabolic functioning of the body. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with an amino acid, organic acids containing one or more amino substituents.
