The phrase "activation chain" is correct and suitable for use in written English.
An example of a sentence that includes it is: "The activation chain of a manufacturing process begins when a customer orders a product."
These are required for sugar activation, chain elongation, branching, and trimming of the final branching pattern.
The oligomerization reaction can be broken into five parts; catalyst activation, chain initiation, chain propagation, chain transfer and catalyst deactivation.
As these proteins establish a self terminating mutual activation chain the model reproduces the disappearance of pJNK after 30 minutes (Figure 3A and 3B).
Activation chain and parallel models describe two different mechanisms for generating sequential behavior.
Two lines of evidence argue against a primary role for an activation chain in driving the dust-induced grooming sequence.
This indicated that an activation chain among the cleaning modules is not sufficient to direct the progression of grooming.
However, embedding activation chains in a densely connected nervous matrix risks spread of signal that will obscure or obliterate the message.
Activation chains (sometimes referred to as associative chaining, response chaining, or stimulus-response reflex chaining) are the simplest form of sequential execution.
Although it is possible that activation chains mediate some aspects of grooming behavior, our evidence indicates that a parallel model alone is fully sufficient to reproduce major features of the dust-induced grooming sequence (discussed below).
Conditions that induce activation and chain extension simultaneously make presumed prebiotic processes more likely.
This consists of a thermally-neutral, but temperature sensitive, chain-branching step which produces intermediates such as radicals and an exothermic, zero activation energy chain-completion step which converts the intermediates into products.
