Question

This process can be modeled using a set of functions representing inside, outside, and surface coordinates in a geometric algorithm named for Ephraim Katchalski-Katzir. An “X-Score” evaluates the feasibility of this process by calculating three hydrophobic parameters associated with desolvation. An instance of this process correlates to a measurable but tiny increase in temperature in isothermal (-5[1])titration calorimetry. (10[1]-5[1])This process ends after application of imidazole during nickel-column affinity chromatography. When modeled computationally, this process is referred to as molecular docking. (10[1])This process occurs between molecules (10[1])more (10[1])strongly if their dissociation constants (10[1])are low. (10[1])For 10 points, name this process in which a ligand and a receptor (10[1])with high affinity for (10[1])each other become attached. (10[2])■END■ (10[10]0[9])

ANSWER: binding [or ligand-target binding or drug binding; accept association; accept molecular docking until read; accept complex formation or complexing]
