The phrase "affecting the function of" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it when discussing how one element influences or alters the operation of another element, often in technical or scientific contexts.
Example: "The new software update is affecting the function of the existing system, leading to improved performance."
Alternatives: "impacting the operation of" or "influencing the performance of".
In the longer term, a homeostatic set-up might allow for rapid functional divergence of one copy without affecting the function of the other.
Consequently, mutations affecting the function of MICOS are responsible for a diverse spectrum of human diseases.
The biofilm thus constitutes a unique way to stabilize interactions between species, inducing marked changes in the symbiotic relationships between them and affecting the function of the microbial community [11].
Expression of active HMWC in E. coli resulted in growth inhibition compared with expression of inactive enzyme, consistent with glycosylation by HMWC detrimentally affecting the function of some E. coli proteins.
Recent discoveries of arrestin-1 interaction with other signaling proteins suggest that it is a much more versatile signaling regulator than previously thought, affecting the function of the synaptic terminals and rod survival.
The Protein S from Myxococcus xanthus is known to function as an intra-molecular chaperone without severely affecting the function of the protein fused to it, and has been applied for the expression of proteins which are insoluble and/or difficult to be expressed (Kobayashi et al. 2009, 2012).
Other rarer inflammatory causes affecting the function of multiple cranial nerves include sarcoidosis, miliary tuberculosis, and inflammation of arteries, such as Wegener's granulomatosis.
Recently, a genetic abnormality affecting the function of LAP was described as the underlying cause of a naturally occurring human disease called Camurati-Engelmann's disease (CED).
Thus, we argue that γCOP plays a more direct role in lumen fusion, maybe by affecting the function of the ARL3/Dnd G-protein [12] [13].
This work highlights the importance of DAAM1 in processes underlying cell polarity and suggests that it acts in part by affecting the function of acto-myosin IIB system.
By the term functionally important residues, we mean the residues required by the protein to perform its molecular function or biological role in such a way that they cannot be changed without affecting the function of protein.
