text: In biochemistry, a ligand is any molecule or atom which binds reversibly to a protein.
text: When the ligand binds to the protein, it undergoes a conformational change.
text: If there is a high affinity, the ligand will tend to stick to the protein and modify its function for longer.
text: A ligand is a small molecule that is able to bind to proteins by weak interactions such as ionic bonds, hydrogen bonds, Van der Waals interactions, and hydrophobic effects.
text: When a ligand binds to the protein, the chemical conformation of the protein changes.
