The phrase "a structural modification" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to changes or alterations in the structure of an object, system, or concept.
Example: "The research focused on a structural modification of the building to improve its earthquake resistance."
Alternatives: "a structural change" or "an alteration in structure".
Possibly, the native structure of AIP1 needs a structural modification to allow DUF724 to bind to these proteins.
Such a problem is related to the frequently encountered engineering problem of a structural modification on the dynamic behavior of a structure.
As a consequence, this hierarchical two-step fragmentation scheme identifies all compound subsets that have structurally analogous cores, i.e., core structures that are only distinguished by a structural modification at a single site.
It differs in structure from native human insulin by 3 amino acids, a structural modification that provides a delayed onset of action and a constant, peakless effect that has a duration of at least 24 hours.
The wharf and embankment strengthening program (WESP) is a structural modification project involving approximately 12,000 linear feet of pile-supported, marginal wharf structures.
"We're facing a structural modification in demand," Jean-Louis Schilansky, Ufip's president, said in a report this month.
Structure- photoluminescence correlation based on changing the diamine monomer, as a single structural modification, demonstrated an interesting connection between a single change and optical and fluorescence emission properties.
Structure-thermal property correlation based on changing the diamine monomer, as a single structural modification, demonstrated an interesting connection between a single change and thermal properties.
Hence, a single structural modification from a benzyl group (as in IBR2) into a p-carboxylphenyl group (as in B6) sufficiently abolished the ability of IBR2 to compete with BRC repeats in RAD51 binding (Fig 1C).
From the current literature it is evident that a simple structural modification of a parent compound can dramatically influence biological activity [ 33, 34].
A significant change of activity following only a minor structural modification (known as an "activity cliff") can give additional insight (see Figure 2).
