Final answer:

The ways to bind a ligand to a resin include using a chemical linker, physical adsorption, and covalent bonding methods, or a combination of these approaches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ways to get your ligand bound to your resin include:

  1. Using a chemical linker.
  2. Using a physical adsorption method.
  3. Using a covalent bonding method.
  4. All of the above.

Ligands are molecules that specifically bind to another molecule, typically a receptor or a resin in chromatography. The binding of ligands can be achieved through various methods including covalent bonding, where a ligand forms a stable bond with the resin; physical adsorption, where the ligand adheres to the resin surface without forming strong chemical bonds; and using chemical linkers which are molecules that function as bridges binding the ligand to the resin.
