bindingbased
Bindingbased, often written as binding-based, is an umbrella term used to describe methods, systems, or theories that rely on specific molecular binding interactions to recognize, capture, or control entities. It emphasizes the central role of recognition between binding partners such as ligands and receptors, antibodies and antigens, or nucleic acids and targets.
Principles of bindingbased approaches center on molecular recognition and affinity. Binding events drive downstream outcomes, and
Applications of bindingbased methods span diagnostics, therapeutics, and sensing. Binding-based assays such as immunoassays and aptamer-based
Advantages of bindingbased systems include modularity, tunable specificity, and compatibility with mild conditions. Limitations encompass potential
