Ligand

A ligand is a molecule that binds to a specific site on a target protein, such as a receptor or enzyme. Peptide ligands can act as agonists, antagonists or modulators. Ligand binding is characterised by affinity, measured by the dissociation constant, and by selectivity across related targets.
