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. 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 toxin, a poisonous substance that causes damage to biological systems. Toxins are differentiated from simple chemical poisons and vegetable alkaloids by their high molecular weight and antigenicity (they elicit an antibody response).
