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 pigment, any general or particular coloring matter in living organisms, e.g. melanin. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with xanthophylls, any of several neutral yellow to orange carotenoid pigments containing oxygen.
