  2. Molecular binding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_binding

    Molecular binding is an attractive interaction between two molecules that results in a stable association in which the molecules are in close proximity to each other. It is formed when atoms or molecules bind together by sharing of electrons.

  3. Cooperative binding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooperative_binding

    In general, molecular binding is an interaction between molecules that results in a stable physical association between those molecules. Cooperative binding occurs in a molecular binding system where two or more ligand molecules can bind to a receptor molecule. Binding can be considered "cooperative" if the actual binding of the first molecule ...

  4. Chemical bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_bond

    Because atoms and molecules are three-dimensional, it is difficult to use a single method to indicate orbitals and bonds. In molecular formulas the chemical bonds (binding orbitals) between atoms are indicated in different ways depending on the type of discussion. Sometimes, some details are neglected.

  5. Ligand (biochemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligand_(biochemistry)

    In DNA-ligand binding studies, the ligand can be a small molecule, ion, [1] or protein [2] which binds to the DNA double helix. The relationship between ligand and binding partner is a function of charge, hydrophobicity, and molecular structure. Binding occurs by intermolecular forces, such as ionic bonds, hydrogen bonds and Van der Waals forces.

  6. Bonding in solids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonding_in_solids

    Weak inter molecular bonding, which forms molecular solids (sometimes anomalously called "covalent solids") Typical members of these classes have distinctive electron distributions, [2] thermodynamic, electronic, and mechanical properties. In particular, the binding energies of these interactions vary widely.

  7. Covalent bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covalent_bond

    A covalent bond forming H 2 (right) where two hydrogen atoms share the two electrons. A covalent bond is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electrons to form electron pairs between atoms.

  8. Molecular recognition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_recognition

    Molecular recognition can be subdivided into static molecular recognition and dynamic molecular recognition. Static molecular recognition is likened to the interaction between a key and a keyhole; it is a 1:1 type complexation reaction between a host molecule and a guest molecule to form a host–guest complex. To achieve advanced static ...

  9. Molecular glue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_glue

    Molecular glue refers to a class of chemical compounds or molecules that play a crucial role in binding and stabilizing protein-protein interactions in biological systems. These molecules act as "glue" by enhancing the affinity between proteins, ultimately influencing various cellular processes.
