Transport of hydrogen ions
Some oxyhemoglobin loses oxygen and becomes deoxyhemoglobin. Deoxyhemoglobin has a much greater
affinity for H+ than does oxyhemoglobin so it binds most of the hydrogen ions.

Recent aptamer experiments have shown that amino acids have indeed a selective chemical
affinity for the base triplets that code for them. This suggests that the current, complex transcription mechanism involving tRNA and associated enzymes is ...
Cytotoxic T cell
... (cell death).
Most T C cells have present on the cell surface the protein CD8 , which is attracted to portions of the Class I MHC molecule. This
affinity keeps the T C cell and the target cell bound closely together during antigen-specific activation. T C cells with CD8 surface protein are called ...

The his-tag can be used in
affinity chromatography together with a column that has nickel bound to it. Histidine is a good ligand for nickel so the fusion protein will bind to ...
Isozyme
