acceptor
In enzyme mechanisms, a functional group of an enzyme that transiently receives a moiety of a substrate, the donor, before itself becoming a donor in transferring it to a second substrate, which is also an 'acceptor'. More generally in immunology, pharmacology and cell biology, an acceptor is an entity that receives an atom, ligand or structure from a 'donor'. (see also class II receptor)
