It seems to be an incomplete expression and lacks clarity in meaning.
Example: "Please act as specific as possible when providing your feedback."
Alternatives: "act in a specific manner" or "function as a specific role".
Reaching the level to an extent exceeding the endurable redox threshold, ROS can act as specific signals stimulating ER stress-mediated apoptosis specifically in cancer cells.
Two compounds were found to act as specific anti-biofilm agents against a gram negative species.
These act as specific pre-conditions to the inclusion of the corresponding configuration in the pool of candidates.
These results suggest that it may be possible to design pharmacologically relevant ligands that act as specific and potent inhibitors of CDK activity.
The derived mimotope may help in the design of future anti-inflammatory therapeutic agents that can act as specific therapeutic agents targeting PMNs mediated inflammation.
Then after, rhizobial bacteria respond with lipo-chitin oligosaccharides, known as Nod factors, which act as specific morphogenetic signal molecules to induce the roots nodule formation (Oldroyd and Downie 2008).
Use of poly (N-isopropylacrylamide-co-N-vinylimidazole-co-Acrylic acid) (PNIBIM-AA) polymer acts as specific structure directing agent, which covalently linked with silica-magnetic core via free-radical polymerization; leads directly to core-shell-corona hybrid nano-carrier system.
As a whole our findings are in full agreement with the conclusion that CXCR7 expressed on MDCK cells acts as specific decoy for CXCL12 and CXCL11.
We provide evidence and mechanistic insight that CXCR7 acts as specific scavenger for CXCL12 and CXCL11 mediating effective ligand internalization and targeting of the chemokine cargo for degradation.
