But in the past couple of days, we've seen some laudable efforts to reframe the question in a manner that's more amenable to rational discourse.
As we show, complexes are amenable to rational design.
The causes of these failures are likely complex and are not yet amenable to rational correction.
This demonstrates that lipidic materials, like their protein counterparts are amenable to rational design.
Consensus-designed tetratricopeptide repeat proteins are highly stable, modular proteins that are strikingly amenable to rational engineering.
For as he understands the term, it already seems to harbour a prejudicial philosophical dualism in which that which is defined as "natural" – and thereby supposedly amenable to rational, empirical investigation through the methods of the natural sciences – is pitted against that which somehow floats above the natural and is thereby necessarily a matter of speculative, unreasoning faith.
Like TSA guards at the airport, workplace IT wardens are rarely amenable to rational argument.
In addition, they are amenable to rational improvement or ab initio design and suitable for high-throughput selection and diagnostic procedures (Gilbreth and Koide, 2012).
They keep on running their models and honing their numbers just as if the subject they're addressing is amenable to rational analysis.
C2H2 zinc fingers were the first example of predictable DNA interaction domains amenable to rational protein design (reviewed in [ 58, 61]), and until very recently, they were the domains of choice for sequence-specific genome targeting.
Acknowledging that this model may be over simplistic, a further distinction has been posited between deliberative choices and actions, which are consciously planned, and non-deliberative which are habitual and less amenable to rational thought or changes in behaviour [ 8].
