The phrase "activated by the small" is grammatically correct and can be used in written English.
It can be used in contexts where something is triggered or initiated by something that is small in size or scale.
Example: "The device is designed to be activated by the small movements of the user’s hand."
Alternatives: "triggered by the minor" or "initiated by the tiny".
Ste20 is a member of the p21-activated kinase (PAK) family of protein kinases that are activated by the small GTPase Cdc42 (Bokoch 2003).
In one example, we utilized domain insertion profiling with sequencing (DIP-seq) to identify an allosteric Cas9 switch, yielding an optimized Cas9 variant that is activated by the small molecule 4-hydroxytamoxifen.
BAK is neutralized by BCL-2, BCL-XL, MCL-1 or VDAC2 [20], [20] and can be activated by the small molecule BAD BH3 mimetic ABT737, in the absence of aBH3s [22], [22].
The first receptor in this series, 5-HT4-D100A oRASSL (RAserotoninonin 1), is not activated by its endogenous agonist, serotonin, but is selectively activated by the small synthetic molecules GR113808, GR125487, and RO110-0235.
It is thought that this interaction facilitates the targeting of Ste11 to the site of receptor signaling at the plasma membrane where Ste20, the upstream kinase for Ste11, is activated by the small GTPase Cdc42 [14], [15], [41], [41] Ste50 itself is recruited to the membrane through an interaction of the C-terminal RA domain with Cdc42 [16].
A major ROS-generating enzyme complex, the NADPH oxidase, is activated by the small GTPase RAC1.
PKG is activated by the small-molecule second messenger cyclic guanosine 3'-5' monophosphate (cGMP).
Activated by the smallest incident, their rage is out of control.
T cells co-cultured with DCs activated by the smaller complexes produced significantly more IFN-γ than control cultures.
In particular, FXRs are antagonized by 5α-bile alcohol sulfates [ 39] while VDRs are essentially only activated by the smallest bile salt, lithocholic acid (5β-cholan-3α-ol-24-oic 5β-cholan-3α-ol-24-oic 5β-cholan-3α-ol-24-oic 5β-cholan-3α-ol-24-oic 5β-cholan-3α-ol-24-oic 5β-cholan-3α-ol-24-oic
TF bound FVII is activated by this small amount of FXa, producing more TF/FVIIa in a feed forward manner.
