Example: "The organization has a backbone that supports its mission and values, ensuring consistency in its actions."
Alternatives: "a foundation that" or "a core that".
We investigate the validity of this assumption with lattice Monte Carlo simulations of A-g-B graft copolymers modeled as either random walk (RW) or self-avoiding walk (SAW) chains composed of multiple invisible B blocks grafted to an A backbone that is either in size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) or liquid adsorption chromatography (LAC) mode.
But Solidarity proved to be, in the words of a headline of the time, a "backbone that cannot be broken".
Each long ladderlike DNA helix has a backbone that consists of a sequence of alternating sugars and phosphates.
For those of you who see this is as stuffy, and unashamedly toff – well, yes, I do have a backbone that was bred in institutions with their own songbooks and silly hats, but I am not out of step with the fashion world.

The polymeric chromophore, poly(4-butoxycarbonylmethylurethane), p-4BCMU, has a diacetylene backbone that displays a broad range of optical properties directly attributed to its conformation.
Like TNA, GNA is a nucleic acid with a simplified backbone that can form stable duplexes.
An important problem in wireless ad hoc and sensor networks is to select a few nodes to form a virtual backbone that supports routing and other tasks such as area monitoring.
This is due to the presence of an acridine "backbone" that confers a planar structure to the molecules, allowing them to intercalate into DNA by stacking between base pairs.
