The phrase "activated steps" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you are referring to steps or actions that have been initiated or put into effect, often in a procedural or technical setting.
Example: "Once the system is ready, the activated steps will guide you through the setup process."
Alternatives: "initiated steps" or "enabled steps".
The second digestion step is then activated (step 9), and the chain is reprocessed with a new set of cleavage probabilities appropriate for the lyase of the step.
The complex activates the first cytosolic signal protein and other signal proteins are activated step by step.
Signaling from mTOR (mTORC1) activates steps in translation and metabolism essential for cell growth.
Generally, the process of EMT implies various activating steps, including proliferation, phenotype changes, migration, and ability to produce extracellular matrix proteins [ 13].
The process of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), which is generally defined by phenotypic changes of injured tubules such as loss of epithelial markers or acquisition of mesenchymal markers, implies various activating steps, including proliferation, migration, and ability to produce extracellular matrix proteins.
While a T cell transfer protocol is very useful and should be used for addressing questions that can only be answered in vivo (such as, for instance, whether or not they migrate to bone marrow, and which activating steps must occur before this happens), it is unfortunately limited, from a practical point of view, by the requirement for relatively large numbers of cells (10 per recipient).
Real time PCR was performed in triplicate on a MX3000P Stratagene (Cedar Creek, TX, USA) instrument running an initial enzyme activating step of 95°C for 10 min, followed by 45 cycles of denaturation at 95°C for 30 sec, annealing at 60°C for 30 sec, and extension at 72°C for 30 sec.
Phosphorylation at serine-184 was suggested as inactivating and phosphorylation at threonine-167 as an activating step.
Bax phosphorylation at serine-184 had been described as an inactivating step, while phosphorylation at threonine-167 was described as an activating step.
Our data clearly demonstrated that OPNc-CM activated different steps of early angiogenesis, such as endothelial cell proliferation, adhesion and migration.
