The phrase "active strand" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to biology, genetics, or molecular biology, often referring to a strand of DNA or RNA that is currently being transcribed or translated.
Example: "The active strand of DNA was crucial for the synthesis of the necessary proteins during cell division."
Alternatives: "functional strand" or "expressed strand".
In addition, the activity on the active strand of the ISTL dates back only to 2 3 Ma (Ikeda et al., 2009).
We developed a small version of the Caltech active strand cloud water collector (CASCC) for biogeochemical investigations in ecological applications.
Guide RNAs targeting the transcriptionally active strand (T5, T7) showed significantly higher NHEJ frequencies compared with guide RNAs targeting the transcriptionally inactive strand.
Farther east, Nakata et al. (1984) identified an active strand of the Main Boundary Thrust.
The active strand of the ISTL is interpreted to dip westward with higher dip-angles (35°∼40°), compared with Ikeda et al. (2009).
These results imply that the active strand of the ISTL could be a reactivated fault within the accreted Middle-Late Miocene Izu-Bonin volcanic arc complexes, possibly the boundary between the Koma and Misaka blocks.
Moderate diffuse intracytoplasmic eosinophilic globules were present in the hepatocytes, as frequently seen in active (alive) stranded dolphins (personal observation).
The time-dependent behavior of the network is modelled as detachment of active strands from their junctions and merging of dangling strands with the network.
The viscoelastic behavior of a polymer is modelled as thermally-induced rearrangement of strands (separation of active strands from temporary junctions and merging of dangling strands with the network).
Wang and Hong recently proposed a model [1] based on the successive scission of the shortest remaining elastically active strands during tensile loading that predicts the shape of the loading curve of one DN hydrogel reasonably well.
Imperfect carboxyl networks are reinforced by neutralization of the carboxyl groups with gallium ions via conversion of pendent chains into elastically active strands due to formation of inter-molecular ionic cross-links.
