What is a small molecule that specifically binds to another molecule?
is called a ligand.
What is a ligand and how are they used to transport particles?
A ligand is a molecule that binds itself to another molecule and helps transport particles using gated channel proteins.
How is the binding of a ligand to cell receptors may alter cell functions?
Some cell receptor is held with it some proteins that transform the signal when a particular ligand is bind. When a ligand binds to a receptor it results in conformation changes in the receptor. The receptor interact with the other protein attached to it and mediate signal transduction by producing some secondary messengers that's how the signal is amplified and create a respond.... (eg., G -Protein coupled receptor)
What receptor has a ligand that can cross the cell membrane that binds?
Intracellular
When a hormone molecule binds to a specific protein on the plasma membrane the protein it binds to is called?
... a receptor protein.
What region of a protein binds a ligand?
I just got a Xbox Live card code for free! :D freexboxlive.cc
What neurotransmitters bind to?
There are two receptors that neurotransmitters interact with: ligand-gated receptors or ionotropic receptors and G protein-coupled receptors or metabotropic receptors depending on the neurotransmitter (the ligand). When the ligand binds with the neurotransmitter receptor it causes a sequence of chemical reactions to relay signals.Brought to you by altogenlabs.com

What is the difference between chelating agent and ligand?
A ligand is an ion or molecule that binds to a central metal atom to form a coordination complex. The bonding usually involves the formal donation of one or more of the ligand's electron pairs. A chelating agent is a type of ligand.
When a hormone molecule binds to a specific protein on the plasma membrane the protein it binds to is called?
... a receptor protein.
What is a protein that binds with oxygen molecules?
Hemoglobin binds with oxygen molecules. Hemoglobin is a protein molecule.
What is the molecule called that can bind to a receptor protein?
The molecule that can bind to a receptor protein is called a ligand.
Is a ligand a hormone?
yes a ligand is anything that can change the conformation of a receptor protein. hormones bind to proteins in the same way ligands do
What type of transport protein is a sodium potassium pump?
It is a carrier protein
