When the biosorption involves a surface reaction, the initial step is rapid.
For the binding site rule on the substrate side of a reaction rule, the initial step is 'f'f
Metastasis is a multi-step process, and the initial step is the invasion of surrounding tissues by cancer cells.
The initial step is a history and physical examination to establish the probability of chronic airway disease, identify potential causes, and exclude alternative diagnoses [ 86, 87].
The initial step is an inflammatory change with activation of innate immunity, which is followed by proliferation phase, including fibroplasia, angiogenesis and re-epithelialization. Pathological impairment of wound healing process may lead to persistent ulceration as seen in diabetic patients.
The initial step is the calculation of a reference state without any impairment.
To identify regulators of lifespan expressed in sites that regulate metabolism, we designed a multi-tiered approach, in which the initial step was a minimal promoter-Gal4; UAS-GFP fat body enhancer trap screen [31].
Until recently the production of LC-PUFA from C18 PUFA was thought to proceed via an alternating desaturation/elongation cycle with the initial step being Δ6 desaturation.
However, recent evidence suggests that an alternative pathway is also possible, with the initial step being C18 to C20 elongation, based upon the ability of Δ6 desaturases to also catalyse Δ8 desaturation.
One of the initial steps is an influx of calcium into the cell cytoplasm known as calcium signaling (Guilak et al. 1999).
A seeding-nucleation process follows in which the initial steps are slow and thermodynamically unfavourable [ 44], represented by a lag phase.
