The phrase "a common backbone" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to refer to a shared foundation or underlying structure that supports various elements or components in a system or organization.
Example: "The new software architecture provides a common backbone for all applications, ensuring seamless integration and communication."
Alternatives: "a shared foundation" or "a unified framework".
These links form a common "backbone" to the protein.
The two strains share more than 4,000 genes, or what Dr. Frederick R. Blattner, the director of the Genome Center of Wisconsin, calls a common "backbone".
Combinatorial chemistry of materials uses a common backbone of starting materials with the aim of developing different "building blocks" that possess the desired individual property.
It has provided a common backbone for multiple data rates to coexist on same fiber along with the enhanced transmission reach.
From these data, it was revealed that pravastatin, lovastatin and simvastatin, that share the 1,2,7,8,8a-hexahydronaphthyl moiety as a common backbone, did not cross react with the anti-ROS antibody.
Google's vision for Android as a unified platform across a broad range of products rather than as a phone OS, for example, creates a common backbone for what will become inherently more interoperable devices sharing the same degree of processing power.
As illustrated in Figure 1, Pyr2, Pyr6 and Pyr10 share the common backbone of BTPs with a trifluoromethyl-group on position C3 and C5 of the pyrazole ring, whereas Pyr3 lacks this at position C3 and is substituted with a carboxylate group on position C4 of the pyrazole ring.
All GSLs share a common hydrophobic backbone dipped in the membrane that is, ceramide (Cer) that consists of a fatty acid chain linked to the sphingosine base.
Because protein structures are composed of amino acids whose side chains are linked by a common protein backbone, a number of different possible subsets of the atoms that make up a protein macromolecule can be used in producing a structural alignment and calculating the corresponding RMSD values.
Each unique hairpin was already present in a common plasmid backbone (under the control of the human H1 promoter).
These data suggest that Noc-domains of Noc1p and Noc4p share a common structural backbone in which diverging amino acids play crucial roles in mediating specific regulated interactions.
