Protein-ligand Binding

Protein-Ligand Binding is a biochemical interaction in which a protein, as the macromolecular host, selectively associates with a small molecule or ion—termed a ligand—through non-covalent forces, thereby forming a stable complex that underlies molecular recognition in biological systems.
