Growth Factor Interaction involves temporary non-covalent binding through intermolecular physical forces of attraction and often spatial complementarity with extracellular signaling molecules (ligands) involved in the control of target cell proliferation, survival, and differentiation.

(Growth Factor Binding, NCI Thesaurus)

GD3 Binding Interaction involves non-covalent attachment of a molecule through intermolecular physical forces of attraction to a cell surface liposaccharide disialoganglioside, GD3.

(GD3 Binding, NCI Thesaurus)

Immunologic Factor Interaction involves temporary non-covalent binding through intermolecular physical forces of attraction and often spatial complementarity with antibody or cytokine proteins that affect immune functions, immune responses, or inflammation.

(Immunologic Factor Interaction, NCI Thesaurus)

Enzyme Interaction involves temporary non-covalent binding, typically through intermolecular physical forces of attraction and spatial complementarity, between a molecular entity and biological molecules, usually proteins, that possess catalytic activity.

(Enzyme Interaction, NCI Thesaurus)

Involves temporary, non-covalent binding of two or more molecules as a result of intermolecular physical forces and often involves spatial complementarity between the interacting objects.

(Molecular Interaction Process, NCI Thesaurus)

Nucleic Acid Binding involves temporary non-covalent interaction of a protein or low molecular weight ligand through intermolecular physical forces of attraction with DNA or RNA, in either a sequence dependent or independent fashion.

(Nucleic Acid Binding, NCI Thesaurus)

Epitope spreading (ES) involves an increased presentation of cryptic epitopes on one protein (intermolecular ES) or dominant epitopes on neighboring molecules (intramolecular ES).
