| def | "Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a repeating or polymeric structure, such as a polysaccharide or peptidoglycan." [PMID:12072369, PMID:12225919, PMID:12507420, PMID:12925128, PMID:14523544]

| comment | Note that this term and its child terms are intended for annotation of gene products which function to recognize (bind) the repeating structural units such as polysaccharides or peptidoglycans commonly found in microbial cell walls and virions. If such binding is coupled to signal transduction, use 'pattern recognition receptor activity ; GO:0008329' instead.
