Can enzyme act as ligands?
« on: 11/01/2021 09:14:47 »
Hello

Can enzymes be used to bind specific molecules without converting them?

Thanks!

Often antibodies are used to bind to proteins.
- Antibodies can be modified so they are marked with glowing proteins, magnetic beads or radioactive isotopes
- Depending on whether you want to photograph the distribution, sort, separate or destroy the target protein
