The phrase "a common structural characteristic" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing features or traits that are frequently found in a particular context, such as architecture, literature, or biology.
Example: "In many Gothic cathedrals, a common structural characteristic is the use of pointed arches."
Alternatives: "a typical structural feature" or "a shared structural trait."
A common structural characteristic of locally acting myotoxins is a cationic face, which is likely to interact with negatively charged phospholipid bilayers.
These drugs, which share a common structural characteristic of four-membered β-lactam ring, can irreversibly bind to the active site of penicillin-binding proteins, thus inhibiting these bacterial proteins from synthesizing cell walls and leading to cell death [ 1].
It is a highly conserved glycoprotein in mammals [ 5] and possesses a reactive centre loop (RCL) [ 5] that is a common structural characteristic of the serine proteinase inhibitor (serpin) family.
To investigate if the LRRCE motif is a common structural feature found in other leucine-rich repeat proteins, we have defined characteristic sequence patterns and used them in genome-wide searches.
Such nanobelts shed light on a distinctive and common structural characteristic for the family of semiconducting oxides with cations of different valence states and materials of distinct crystallographic structures.
These inclusions share common structural characteristics, including a high β sheet content and a distinctive cross-β X-ray diffraction pattern, also observed for fibrillar deposits associated with other degenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, and commonly described as amyloid fibrils (Geddes et al., 1968; Chiti and Dobson, 2006).
Sequence and phylogenetic analyses showed that 11 OsOSCAs from Oryza sativa L. Japonica contained a conserved DUF221 domain and shared common structural characteristics with their homologs in Oryza sativa L. ssp.
The three mammalian Vav proteins, Vav1, Vav2, and Vav3, share a Dbl homology domain for their enzymatic activity as GEFs and contain a common structural array characteristic of proteins involved in signal transduction.
Regarding the dependency among TFBSs and the hypothesis that genes showing similar expression profiles could share common structural characteristics in their regulatory regions, Vandenbon et al. proposed a simple Markov chain-based promoter architecture model as an alternative to the CRM approaches.
