ligandumvezérelt
Ligandumvezérelt is a term used in Hungarian-language science literature to describe systems in which ligand binding serves as the primary regulator of a process. The word combines ligandum, Latin for “that which binds” or “ligand,” with vezérelt, Hungarian for “driven” or “controlled.” In this sense, a ligandumvezérelt process is driven by interactions between a molecule (the ligand) and a target such as a protein, receptor, enzyme, or nucleic acid.
Mechanistically, ligand binding shifts the functional-state equilibrium of the target, often through conformational changes that alter
Applications and relevance: The term is frequently used in Hungarian biochemistry and pharmacology to describe receptor
Relation to related concepts: Ligandumvezérelt intersects with allosteric regulation and receptor–ligand interactions, yet it emphasizes ligand-dependent
