The phrase "a suitable surrogate for" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing a replacement or alternative that is appropriate for a specific purpose or function.
Example: "In the absence of the original model, this prototype serves as a suitable surrogate for testing our new design."
Alternatives: "an appropriate substitute for" or "a fitting replacement for".
Plant diversity is not necessarily a suitable surrogate for heterotrophic diversity20 and accounting for the latter may improve models on biodiversity multifunctionality relationships19.
Based on these results, purified protein from microbial sources is a suitable surrogate for proteins in-matrix when conducting SGF digestion studies.
Projected shoot area is therefore a suitable surrogate for rice shoot biomass up to six weeks of age and 24 g of shoot fresh weight (Figure 2).
The presented approach, as well as the partition model in general, assumes that MAA is a suitable surrogate for Y-90 microspheres and that the MAA particle distribution is similar to the Y-90 particle distribution.
MVA was found to be a suitable surrogate for enveloped viruses like EBOV.
In this study, we have demonstrated that BD is not a suitable surrogate for hyperlactatemia.
Furthermore, little difference was observed between their activities on solid substrates Avicel and IL-Avicel, thus validating N. crassa as a suitable surrogate of T. reesei for TrEGI production.
This approach demonstrates that D. discoideum is a suitable surrogate host for preliminary high-throughput screening of antivirulence agents and that PPK1 is a suitable target for developing novel antivirulence compounds that can be further validated in mammalian models.
This is largely related to the absence of a suitable surrogate parameter for scoring.
Taken together, these results qualify this novel approach as a suitable surrogate assay for the determination of herpesvirus neutralization.
Gen-specific hypermethylation very often takes place in the context of a generalized hypomethylation ([11] and the methylation status of the highly repetitive LINE-1 sequence is a suitable surrogate marker for assessing this global loss of methylation [12]. Therefore, methylation analysis of LINE-1 was included.
