The phrase "activating molecule" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in scientific or technical contexts, particularly in biochemistry or molecular biology, to refer to a molecule that initiates or enhances a biological process.
Example: "The research focused on the role of the activating molecule in the signaling pathway that regulates cell growth."
Alternatives: "triggering molecule" or "stimulating molecule".
