Molecules of similar structure compete with one another in binding with the carrier molecule.
The energy released generally has been stored in high-energy bonds of an intermediate energy carrier molecule, such as the terminal phosphate bond of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
The chemical being transported also competes with itself for a carrier molecule, so that only a limited amount of the chemical can be transported by the carrier protein during a specific time.
Acidic groups have been introduced in the synthesized carrier molecule to improve the guest host affinity.
The carrier molecule was incubated with the antibody to allow specific binding to the Fc portion.
Gene delivery is too complex to be performed with a single carrier molecule.
To facilitate intracellular delivery of hydrophilic drugs, a general lipophilic carrier molecule was designed and synthesized.
Here, the proton transport could be described as a vehicular mechanism where the proton rides on a carrier molecule (H3O+).
Cell labeling with 111In typically requires a lipophilic carrier molecule (e.g., oxine) for transporting the radiometal into cells [2-6].
A carrier molecule called a vector must be used to deliver the therapeutic gene to the patient's target cells [70].
Considering the specific case of lung cancer, the polymer PLGA has proved to be a prospective carrier molecule.
