Molecular binding is an attractive interaction between two molecules that results in a stable association in which the molecules are in close proximity to each other. The result of molecular binding is the formation of a molecular complex. A molecular complex in turn is a loose association involving two or more molecules. The attractive bonding between the components of a complex is normally weaker than in a covalent bond.

Famous quotes containing the word binding:
“[Government’s] true strength consists in leaving individuals and states as much as possible to themselves—in making itself felt, not in its power, but in its beneficence, not in its control, but in its protection, not in binding the states more closely to the center, but leaving each to move unobstructed in its proper orbit.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
