The phrase "alter the orientation of" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you want to describe changing the position, direction, or arrangement of something.
Example: "To improve the user experience, we need to alter the orientation of the interface to make it more intuitive."
Alternatives: "change the alignment of" or "adjust the positioning of".
In comparison to supine positioning of the preoperative CT scan, the bolsters placed for appropriate positioning and padding may alter the orientation of the pelvis in space.
Here, we report circular permutations of an RNA-binding protein L7Ae based on the three-dimensional structure information to alter the orientation of the displayed proteins on the RNA scaffold.
We affirm that these results strongly support our hypothesis that the Bdel mutations alter the orientation of the β subunit with respect to the α1 subunit.
The third, P5, is predicted to alter the orientation of the binding site for YopJ such that it no longer efficiently modifies its substrate.
As a second test of the direct coupling hypothesis, we deleted 1, 2, or 3 amino acids in the middle of the linker in order to alter the orientation of AID-bound β subunit with respect to α1.
As the animals walked under open-loop conditions steering manoeuvres did not alter the orientation of the animals within the sound field so that sound stimuli were always perceived under identical acoustic conditions.
The annealing time altered the orientation of rods, which made rods form flower.
At strains up to 3.0 the deformation by these mechanisms is supported by shear in the amorphous interlamellar layers (interlamellar sliding) which also alters the orientation of the crystalline phase.
Docking calculations showed that the mutation altered the orientation of indole, and that the C-2 of the indole pyrrole ring was closer to the heme iron of P450 BM-3 than the C-3.
Students do not always recognize that altering the orientation of a tree or format of the branches (e.g., straight, bent, or circular) does not alter the relationships represented (Catley et al. 2009; Halverson et al. 2011; Novick and Catley 2008).
These results suggest that biomaterial surface topography or other methods of altering the orientation of cells may be used to engineer orientation into the secreted extracellular matrix and as such may be a potential strategy for developing organized cell-derived matrix as a bridging material for nerve repair or other regenerative applications.
