GO:0005536 glucose binding Interacting selectively and non-covalently with the D- or L-enantiomer of glucose. 64
GO:0048029 monosaccharide binding Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any monosaccharide. Monosaccharides are the simplest carbohydrates; they are polyhydroxy aldehydes H[CH(OH)]nC(=O)H or polyhydroxy ketones H[CHOH]nC(=O)[CHOH]mH with three or more carbon atoms. They form the constitutional repeating units of oligo- and polysaccharides. 39
GO:0031418 L-ascorbic acid binding Interacting selectively and non-covalently with L-ascorbic acid, (2R)-2-[(1S)-1,2-dihydroxyethyl]-4-hydroxy-5-oxo-2,5-dihydrofuran-3-olate; L-ascorbic acid is vitamin C and has co-factor and anti-oxidant activities in many species. 31
GO:0033222 xylose binding Interacting selectively and non-covalently with the D- or L-enantiomer of xylose. 25
GO:0010297 heteropolysaccharide binding Interacting selectively and non-covalently with heteropolysaccharides. A heteropolysaccharide is a glycan composed of more than one type of monosaccharide residue. 21
GO:2001070 starch binding Interacting selectively and non-covalently with starch. 11
GO:0048032 galacturonate binding Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any galacturonate. Galacturonate is the anion of galacturonic acid, the uronic acid formally derived from galactose by oxidation of the hydroxymethylene group at C-6 to a carboxyl group. 10
GO:0030247 polysaccharide binding Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any polysaccharide, a polymer of many (typically more than 10) monosaccharide residues linked glycosidically. 9
GO:0070061 fructose binding Interacting selectively and non-covalently with the D- or L-enantiomer of fructose, the ketohexose arabino-hex-2-ulose. 8
GO:0005537 mannose binding Interacting selectively and non-covalently with mannose, a monosaccharide hexose, stereoisomeric with glucose, that occurs naturally only in polymerized forms called mannans. 5
GO:0001872 (1->3)-beta-D-glucan binding Interacting selectively and non-covalently with (1->3)-beta-D-glucans. 4
GO:0030248 cellulose binding Interacting selectively and non-covalently with cellulose. 2
