Therefore, it is considered as a functional substitute for petroleum-based plastics due to thermoplastic and elastomeric properties of its copolymers (Balaji et al. 2013).
In arterial replacement there is a clear clinical need for a functional substitute possessing appropriate haemocompatible properties to be implanted as small diameter artery.
While the other amelogenin isoforms make a modest contribution to optimal biomechanical design, the enamel made with only one amelogenin isoform served as a functional substitute.
Below 2 km, a walking school bus can serve as a functional substitute to PCDOs and is identified as feasible for certain areas given the student densities and school locations.
Importantly, RofA provides a functional substitute for Nra activation of pilus gene expression in this particular S. pyogenes strain background.
The divergent RofA plus upstream region is a functional substitute for Nra in terms of activation of pilus gene expression, although the magnitude of the activating effect is markedly enhanced.
TAF1L is X-linked and might act as a functional substitute for TAF1 during male meiosis, when sex chromosomes are transcriptionally silenced.
Tiger pufferfish Tlr22 was originally thought to be a functional substitute of human TLR3, as it responds to dsRNA and may therefore promote antiviral protection in teleosts [ 10].
It may act as a functional substitute for TAF1/TAF II 250 during male meiosis, when sex chromosomes are transcriptionally silenced [ 27].
