The phrase "alternate functions" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it when referring to different or substitute functions that can be performed in a particular context, such as in technology or mathematics.
Example: "The software offers alternate functions that allow users to customize their experience based on their preferences."
Alternatives: "substitute functions" or "alternative roles".
In addition, some multifunctional proteins are not considered moonlighting simply because their alternate functions are very well known.
Particularly in mammalian cells, alternate functions of AARSs have been associated with re-distribution in the cell to sites that are removed from translation.
Finally, that known MPs can switch between functions upon change of (i) subcellular localization, (ii) physicochemical environment, (iii) oligomeric state, (iv) interacting partners or a combination thereof12 means that predicting alternate functions should go beyond sequence analysis.
One day I'd love to see alternate functions for Pencil tap-to-wake, but it makes sense that this is the one they'd start with.
C2GnT1 and C2GnT-M may have alternate functions in regulating the progression of carcinomas at various stages of malignancy of the tumor.
These alternate functions may underlie the non-random distribution of HLH-1 binding sites on the chromosomes, including a vast over-representation of the ChIP overlapping set on the X chromosome.
We considered the possibility that the PurO-like protein might be non-functional or have an alternate function in T. kodakaraensis and T. gammatolerans, as the absence of PurO in closest neighbors might suggest that some unidentified IMP cyclohydrolase is functioning in this role instead.
By contrast, where category judgments were required for the very same objects (Experiment 2), children named according to design intentions – but only if the alternate function was idiosyncratic.
Since Bergmann glia play no known role in myelination, it is unknown what alternate function these genes may serve in these cells.
It has been suggested that the structure of the dwarf domain member, endonuclease, serves as the minimal structural scaffold for the hydrolysis of phosphodiester bonds and a gene duplication event may explain how the ancestral scaffold of endonucleases came to support an alternate function seen in the larger phospholipases [33], [34].
In contrast, Otto and colleagues demonstrated an increase in activity of PBMC function with exposure to hyperglycemia, suggesting an alternate function other than hyperosmolality.
