Recognition and Selectivity of Binding: Molecular Correlates.

Cancer Co-Bodies Lab Diagnosis Selectivity


People recognise or select things as a conscious activity, but the sense is extended by analogy to how molecules or cells 'choose' partners for binding or reaction. This paper explores what molecular structures or characteristics are preferred for these purposes, and the potential particularly with respect to diagnosis of disease and treatment of cancer. A link here is to the text of the lecture. The slides are presented separately through a link on a neighbouring web page.
