Binding Protein

A binding protein is any protein that acts as an agent to bind two or more molecules together.

Examples include:

  • DNA-binding protein
    • Single-strand binding protein
    • Telomere-binding protein
  • RNA-binding protein
    • Poly(A)-binding protein
    • Nuclear cap-binding protein complex
  • CREB-binding protein
  • Calcium-binding protein
    • Calcium-binding protein 1
    • S100 calcium-binding protein A1
  • TATA-binding protein
  • Actin-binding protein
  • Penicillin binding proteins
  • Retinol binding protein
    • Retinol binding protein 4
  • EP300
  • Binding immunoglobulin protein
  • Odorant binding protein
  • Lipopolysaccharide-binding protein
  • C4b-binding protein
  • Rap GTP-binding protein
  • Calmodulin-binding proteins
  • Iron-binding proteins
  • Thyroxine-binding proteins
  • Folate-binding protein
  • Sterol regulatory element-binding protein
  • GTP-binding protein
  • Retinaldehyde-binding protein 1
  • Ccaat-enhancer-binding proteins
  • Androgen-binding protein

Famous quotes containing the words binding and/or protein:

    “[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)

    “Firm-style bean curd insoles cushion feet, absorb perspiration and provide more protein than meat or fish innersoles of twice the weight. Tofu compresses with use, becoming more pungent and flavorful. May be removed when not in use to dry or marinate. Innersoles are ready to eat after 1,200 miles of wear. Each pair provides adult protein requirement for 2 meals. Insoles are sized large to allow for snacks. Recipe booklet included.”
    —Alfred Gingold, U.S. humorist. Items From Our Catalogue, “Tofu Innersoles,” Avon Books (1982)
