The phrase "affected components" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when referring to parts or elements that have been influenced or changed by a particular event or condition.
Example: "The technician examined the affected components of the machine to determine the cause of the malfunction."
Alternatives: "impacted parts" or "influenced elements".
To determine whether cPAF also affected components of the DNA damage repair mechanism, we measured the protein expression of several factors critical in this process, including ATR, ATR-interacting protein and microcephalin/BRIT-1.
Affected components of the glycolysis/gluconeogenesis KEGG pathway included pyruvate decarboxylase (POPTR_0016s12760.1, PDC1.5), which was upregulated at transcript level but downregulated at protein level, and a cytosolic fructokinase (POPTR_0007s01850.1), which was upregulated at both transcript and protein levels.
An overview of the genes which gave significance to this category shows that low UV-B affected components commonly involved in stress responses such as putative Thaumatin-like proteins, Pathogenesis-related protein PR-1 precursor, putative senescence-associated proteins, Allergen V5 Tpx-1 and chitinase-like proteins (Additional file 10) [ 62, 63].
Aberrant DNA methylation also affected component genes but at a much lower frequency than CNL.
MCMV and HCMV encode numerous immunoevasins which affect components of the MHC class I antigen processing pathway [29].
Somatic mutations affecting components of the RNA splicing machinery occur with high frequencies across many tumor types.
Several studies have suggested that physical activity, healthy diet and other lifestyle modifications can favorably affect components of subhealth [ 34- 36].
Approximately 60% of individuals affected by aHUS also have an inherited and/or acquired abnormality affecting components of the complement pathway.
Indeed, β2 integrin-mediated signalling pathways may also affect components involved in the extracellular matrix formation substantiating the importance of a tumor cell microenvironment [ 12].
The fact that obesity affects components of the cellular and humoral immune response may result in a state of immunodeficiency [ 18].
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease affecting components of the neuromuscular junction and thus disrupting the signal transduction over the postsynaptic membrane [ 1].
