- A substance (an atom or molecule or radical or ion) that forms a complex around a central atom
- In coordination chemistry, a ligand is an ion, or molecule (see also: functional group) that binds to a central metal-atom to form a coordination complex. The bonding between metal and ligand generally involves formal donation of one or more of the ligand's electron pairs. ...
- In biochemistry and pharmacology, a ligand (Latin ligare = to bind) is a substance that is able to bind to and form a complex with a biomolecule to serve a biological purpose. In a narrower sense, it is a signal triggering molecule, binding to a site on a target protein.
- An ion, molecule, or functional group that binds to another chemical entity to form a larger complex
- (liganded) Having (a specified number or type of) ligands
- (Ligands) A general term to describe substances (such as drugs) which bind to receptors.
- (Ligands) Proteins or other molecules found on the outside of cells which identify the cell type. Stem cells and other fetal cells have the ability to migrate around the body and find certain cell types. ...
- (ligands) Molecules or ions that chemically bind to certain other molecules or ions. In a binding action, usually the smaller of the two molecules is considered the ligand.
- Definitions of ligands occuring in PDB files , such as HEM, 2AF and others.
