Ligand assays measure the product of the chemical interaction between a molecule and a reactive substance or receptor. They can measure a variety of substances in the human body and are classified into competitive, non-competitive, and miniaturized microarray assays. The latter allows for the simultaneous measurement of multiple molecules from a small biological sample. Assays […]
Ligands are small signaling molecules involved in inorganic and biochemical processes. They form coordination complexes through sharing electron pairs and are classified based on binding patterns, size, and electrical charge. In biochemistry, ligands refer to signaling or labeling molecules that bind to certain sites on receptors, enzymes, or other proteins within a cell. They can […]
