The phrase "a sufficient backbone to" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to describe the necessary support or strength required for a particular action or situation.
Example: "The proposal needs a sufficient backbone to withstand scrutiny from the board."
Alternatives: "adequate support to" or "strong foundation to".
My husband has sufficient backbone to stand up to those few years when his children will preoccupy themselves with what a flimsy figure of a man he is and how they will never be like him.
PHLG-TEP, a phosphonium-containing polypeptide having a sufficient long backbone-to-charge distance (11 σ-bonds), adopted helical conformation with great stability against the change of pH and ionic strength of the polypeptide aqueous solution.
These findings unravel physical constraints fitting a spatially dependent least-action for water coordination, introduce a molecular design concept, and herald the advent of water-tight peptide-based materials with sufficient backbone exposure to remain flexible.
These links form a common "backbone" to the protein.
A triazine linker has also been used as part of a homopolymer backbone to yield photoinduced backbone fragmentation.
Namely, coiling propensities correlate with polyproline II content more strongly than with proline content, and given a preponderance of glycines for sufficient backbone flexibility, nonlocal interactions such as electrostatic forces can result in strongly enhanced coiling, which results for the case of resilin in a distinct hump in the force-extension curve.
Since the assemblies obtained from facially amphiphilic dendrons were found to be quite large, we hypothesized that these molecules simply do not have sufficient backbone flexibility and therefore lack the curvature required to form spherical assemblies.
He talked brashly about plans to bring a backbone to S.A.G. and demand deals with everyone.
"A backbone to service providers who are helping people.
