DEFINITION

Classification: 435/7.8

Involving nonmembrane bound receptor binding or protein binding other than antigen-antibody binding:

(under subclass 7.1) Subject matter in which the measurement or test includes nonmembrane bound receptor binding or ligand-receptor binding other than antigen-antibody binding.

(1) Note. This subclass provides for enzyme-inhibitor binding where the inhibitor is not a label, binding to soluble or nonmembrane bound receptors or transport proteins, etc. Specific examples include thyroxine-thyroxine binding globulin, B12-intrinsic factor, cortisol-transcortin, lectin-carbohydrate, etc.

7.71, for an assay where an enzyme inhibitor is present as a label.
