The phrase "a positive candidate" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when referring to someone who is favorable or suitable for a position, role, or situation.
Example: "After reviewing all the applications, we believe that Sarah is a positive candidate for the marketing manager position."
Alternatives: "a strong candidate" or "an ideal candidate."
By the comparison of specific activity to recognize a positive candidate, a practical threshold is required.
The window reported by the classifier should contain a complete cavity in order to be qualified as a positive candidate.
The practical threshold for the recognition of a positive candidate was investigated with this pair of uricases.
Two methods were used for the recognition of a positive candidate in a pair with its activity measured in a lysate.
Alternatively, the quantification of total proteins in a lysate by a conventional protein assay may yield a practical specific activity to facilitate recognizing a positive candidate, but the effectiveness of this approach has not been reported yet.
In this report, the assay of uric acid absorbance at 293 nm was verified for measuring uricase activity; specific activity calculated from the level of total proteins in a lysate was tested as the index for comparison against a threshold for recognizing a positive candidate.
It is however a good positive candidate as it is described to interact with Ubx in a yeast two-hybrid screen (Bondos et al., 2004).
We have not seen any example of a false positive candidate with more than one hit in HHpred/COACH analysis, and the rarely occurring hits by one of the two programs were always with scores in the lowest confidence class.
The major concerns with the ABC model are that 1) it does not incorporate context information into relation inference; 2) it generates a large volume of false positive candidate relations; and 3) it is a semi-automatic, labor-intensive technique requiring human experts' manual input.
We found that established SNP callers were not optimally suited for our data set, resulting in a high fraction of false positive candidate SNP predictions.
For each residue on the surface, if the distance between any nonhydrogen atom of the residue and any atom of the ligand is less than 7 angstroms, this residue is kept as a positive sample candidate; otherwise, the residue is kept as a negative sample candidate.
