The phrase "a functional linkage between" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing the relationship or connection between two or more elements, particularly in contexts like systems, processes, or theories.
Example: "The study aims to explore a functional linkage between environmental factors and human health outcomes."
Alternatives: "a practical connection between" or "an operational relationship between".
This work suggests a mechanism regulating the RBR ligase activity of TRIAD1 and HHARI, demonstrates a novel function of cullin neddylation, and demonstrates a functional linkage between RBR and CRL E3s.
Satoyama, a traditional socio-ecological production landscape, which provided a functional linkage between paddy fields and the associated environment has lost its functions.
If this were the case, the ubiquity of fractals also makes it more difficult to determine a functional linkage between any pair of them.
This molecular data is suggestive of a functional linkage between the microbiology of the site and the apparent natural attenuation process.
A functional linkage between potent induction of the major CYP (1 3) genes and transcriptional down-regulation of MDR1 gene in drug-resistant tumor cells is hereby hypothesized.
We reason that there is a functional linkage between these genes, as this module, in full or part, also occurs on other Tn3-related transposons i.e., alone, as in Tn1013 from the IncP-1α plasmid pBS228 [72], or in combination with antibiotic resistance determinants, as inTn6001, Tn1403, and Tn1404* transposons detected in clinical- and environmental-strains of Pseudomonas [73], [74].
Many of the genes that formed these clusters were poorly annotated limiting the possibility of assigning any functional linkage between them but are likely to play a role in uncharacterised cellular housekeeping functions.
Each edge in the network indicates either a binding interaction or a functional linkage or both between a pair of proteins.
The high frequency of several toxin and bioactive peptide synthesis genes observed within P. agardhii and P. rubescens, but not for other Planktothrix species (e.g. P. pseudagardhii), suggests a potential functional linkage between bioactive peptide production and the colonization potential and possible dominance in habitats.
This provides a potential functional linkage between epigenetic changes in aged muscle tissue and loss of muscle mass.
This suggests that in most currently available genomes with these genes there is a strong functional linkage between Pup, PafA and the archaeal-type proteasome, recapitulating the experimentally observed situation in M. tuberculosis [ 1, 3].
