In addition, it binds a range of medical drugs.
In this way, RNA-binding species, aptamers, were discovered that could in fact bind a range of small molecules, and as were new ribozyme catalysts with properties that would have been valuable in a nascent RNA world, such as phosphodiester and carbon carbon bond rearrangements.
Currently the scavenger receptor family consists of 6 structurally distinct classes of receptors (classes A through F) that bind a range of polyanionic ligands including modified LDLs [22].
These belong to the nuclear hormone receptor family which bind a range of endogenous and exogenous lipids and play roles in inflammation and lipid metabolism.

The zinc finger motif can bind a range of targets including DNAs, RNAs, proteins and even lipids.
RNA riboswitches bind a range of protein cofactors, such as flavin mononucleotide, thiamine pyrophosphate, tetrahydrofolate, S-adenosylmethionine and adenosylcobalamin (a form of vitamin B12) [ 53].
NA is known as a metal chelator, which can bind a range of metals, including Fe, Zn, Mn and Cu [ 11- 15].
It binds a range of ligands including iC3b, ICAM-1 and fibrinogen, and it participates in functions including phagocytosis and adhesion.
Proponents contend that if there is a general expectation in society (e.g. human rights norms) this can become a principle of international law that can eventually bind a range of actors.
