Each gene is surrounded on the DNA by control sequences called promoters and enhancers that can be bound to by switch molecules called transcription factors.
If there is something bluntly familiar about these characters, the same can be said for Kevin's daughter, April, the spoiled, pouty, self-absorbed teenager whom he cannot truly understand but is oddly bound to by their shared knowledge of her pregnancy.
She's thoughtfully cautious about change, as she should be leading an institution that is shepherding a young tradition modern dance that it is bound to by birth.

Proteins contain allosteric sites which, when bound to by small molecules, can alter a protein's conformation and ultimately affect the protein's activity.
There is known recognition of CpG in DNA (bound to by TLR9 [5]) and ssRNA (bound to by TLR 7 and 8 with possible context specificity [6] [8]), along with experiments indicating that CpG in ssRNA may be immunostimulatory [9].
