Binding protein
Encyclopedia
A binding protein is any protein
that acts as an agent to bind two or more molecules together.
Examples include:
Protein
Proteins are biochemical compounds consisting of one or more polypeptides typically folded into a globular or fibrous form, facilitating a biological function. A polypeptide is a single linear polymer chain of amino acids bonded together by peptide bonds between the carboxyl and amino groups of...
that acts as an agent to bind two or more molecules together.
Examples include:
- DNA-binding proteinDNA-binding proteinDNA-binding proteins are proteins that are composed of DNA-binding domains and thus have a specific or general affinity for either single or double stranded DNA. Sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins generally interact with the major groove of B-DNA, because it exposes more functional groups that...
- Single-strand binding proteinSingle-strand binding proteinSingle-strand binding protein, also known as SSB or SSBP, binds to single stranded regions of DNA to prevent premature annealing. The strands have a natural tendency to revert to the duplex form, but SSB binds to the single strands, keeping them separate and allowing the DNA replication machinery...
