The phrase "a common structural function" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing roles or purposes that are frequently found in various structures, such as in architecture, biology, or linguistics.
Example: "In many organisms, a common structural function of the cell membrane is to protect the internal environment."
Alternatives: "a typical structural role" or "a frequent structural purpose".
This leads us to hypothesize that Osps may play a common structural role that is required for the protective function of the borrelial surface lipoproteins.
As protein folding and function is significantly contributed by hydrogen bonds, it is conceivable that both monocot and dicot AGPase SS share a common structural and functional similarity with that of the template protein.
The protein isoforms all share a common structural pattern: a C-terminus whose function is unclear; a conserved catalytic core, which determines substrate specificity and inhibitor sensitivity; and a divergent N-terminus responsible for the enzyme's targeting [ 19, 22].
These structures exhibit a common structural core [ 47] that was not detected by HHsearch.
Implicitly, this refers to a high level of similarity among comparable structural elements across the sequences so that a common structural fold among these homologs is maintained which, in turn, governs the general biological function of this homologous protein family.
Therefore, the majority of synthetic uPA inhibitors, conceived so far, share a common structural feature consisting of a mono- or biaromatic moiety substituted with an amidino or guanidino function, acting as arginine mimetic.
It means that 5 non-branching structures are common between HOTAIR and ANRIL, building a common structural motif.
First, our analysis showed the presence of a 2-His-1-carboxylate facial triad (HxDxnH), as a common structural motif among non-heme iron II) enzymes, present in all identified Jmjd6 proteins, suggesting an evolutionary conserved enzymatic function of Jmjd6.
A common structural moiety of IL-17 family members includes four conserved cysteine residues.
This suggests that amyloid produced under different sets of conditions have a common structural organization.
