| ligand |
A ligand is any chemical which binds to, forms a chemical link with, some larger molecule or receptor. On cells the binding is to the outer part of the cell surface. If a ligand can bind to two sites at once, it is called a divalent ligand, if three, trivalent, and if many sites can be attacked at once polyvalent.
