The phrase "a small activating" is grammatically correct and can be used in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you are describing something that is both small in size and has the function of activating something else.
Example: "The device requires a small activating signal to function properly."
Alternatives: "a minor trigger" or "a little activation".
We selected a set of artificial small activating RNAs (saRNAs) upregulating it in neocortical precursors and their derivatives.
Nowadays, two classes of molecular tools are potentially available for this last approach: (a) artificial transcription factors, and (b) small activating RNAs (saRNAs).
IHC RPs are shaped by depolarizing mechanotransducer currents and repolarizing K+ currents, including a fast-activating K+ current (IK,f) carried by large-conductance, voltage- and Ca2+-activated K+ (BK) channels (1– 3); a slow-activating delayed rectifier K+ current (IK,s; refs. 1– 4); and a small, negatively activating K+ current (IK,n) carried predominantly by KCNQ4 channels (5– 7).
Previous studies have demonstrated that injection of KCNE1 β-subunits into oocytes generates a small, slowly activating IKs-like current via assembly with endogenous KCNQ1 [25], [25].
Small activating RNAs (saRNAs) offer an alternative, appealing approach.
RNAa (RNA activation) is a mechanism by which small dsRNA (double-stranded RNA), termed saRNA (small activating RNA), target promoter sequences to induce gene expression.
The molecules that perform it are called either small activating RNAs (saRNA) or antigene RNAs (agRNA).
This phenomenon was termed RNAa and the dsRNA molecules were designated small activating RNAs (saRNAs).
He'd use metal bowls, a child's plastic toy, a small box activated by heat that made cricket sounds, and he'd deftly add them into his improvisations.
The Ba(Zn1/3Ta2/3 O3 films exhibited a small thermally activated ohmic leakage current at high fields (<250 kV cm 1) and high temperatures (<200 °C) with an activation energy of 0.85 eV.
