Some xenobiotics are able to bind to the mostly hydrophobic ligand binding sites of SULTs, thereby blocking enzyme activity.
However, identity within their DNA-binding domain suggests they are able to bind to auxin responsive promoter elements.
The M4L6 tetrahedra are able to bind a variety of molecules into their interior cavity.
Isoflavones and lignans are phytoestrogens, and therefore, are able to bind to and activate estrogen receptors.
All three ligands are able to bind iron III) in strong acidic pH via (O−,N,O−) donor set.
The ligands with (O−,N,O−) donor set are able to bind iron III) selectively at physiological pH.
Dye-ligands are able to bind most types of proteins, in some cases in a remarkably specific manner.
The proposed methodology allows the generation of sensors which are able to bind the different enantiomers of the pesticide dinoseb with good sensitivity and repeatability (RSD < 10%).
In particular, flexible PEI chains, being characterized by the high affinity to DNA's phosphate groups, are able to bind to DNA in an independent manner.
In this latter complex, we show that neither ATR nor ATRIP are able to bind DNA individually, nor do they bind DNA in a cooperative manner.
The latter are able to bind and precipitate soluble proteins.
