SubClass Of: capability

Class Hierarchy

owl:Thing › bfo:entity › bfo:continuant › bfo:specifically dependent continuant › bfo:realizable entity › bfo:disposition › capability › protein binding capability

Definition

capability of a material entity to selectively and reversibly interact with one or more protein molecules through non-covalent molecular interactions

Examples

• the protein binding capability of Protein A resin to bind IgG molecules; the protein binding capability of an immobilized capture antibody on an ELISA plate to bind its target protein; the protein binding capability of an FcRn-bearing surface to bind IgG

Counter-Examples

• non-specific binding of proteins to surfaces of plastic containers; covalent immobilization of Protein A on agarose resin; non-specific aggregation of proteins; gel filtration resins - while used for protein purification the interaction mechanism is not binding

Primitive Class

This class is declared primitive and it does not have necessary and sufficient condiftions defined.

Primitive Rationale

There are insufficient constructs in the ontology to create necessary and sufficient conditions.

Formal Axioms

First-Order Logic Axioms

ProteinBindingCapability(x) → Capability(x) ∧ ∃z(MaterialEntity(z) ∧ capabilityOf(x, z))

Semi-Formal Natural Language Axioms

if x is a ‘protein binding capability’ then x is a ‘capability’ that is the ‘capability of’ some ‘material entity’
