The phrase "an alternating orientation" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to geometry, design, or any situation where directions or arrangements change in a systematic way.
Example: "The tiles were laid out in an alternating orientation to create a visually appealing pattern."
Alternatives: "a shifting alignment" or "a rotating arrangement".
Once inside the nucleus, HSF1 binds to a heat shock element (HSE) in the promoter of Hsp genes, which is defined by a tandem repeat of the pentamer nGAAn arranged in an alternating orientation either "head to head" (e.g., 5′-nGAAnnTTCn-3′) or "tail to tail" (e.g., 5′-nTTCnnGAAn-3′) [ 66], resulting in the upregulation of stress protein gene expression [ 67].
The orientation of 1a in 5 and 6 is the same along the chain, while in 3 and 4 they show an alternating orientation.
The embedding of the sequence GHRHDWE in a β-strand imposes an alternate orientation (inwards and outwards) of the side chains.
The other five motif pairs were in an alternate orientation with motif 12 5 on the opposite strand and 5' to motif 12 0 (henceforth referred to as "R12-5 ⇛ 12-0").
In contrast, the model in the presence of the d-nucleoside indicates for F88 to assume an alternate orientation, rotating the side chain by ∼120°.
Observe that A and B have an even number of genes with alternating orientation.
Exact solutions for the interaction energy between infinitely long parallel twins of alternating orientation terminating at a distance h below the free surface in an elastically isotropic half-space have been obtained through the summation of pairwise interaction energies between the partial dislocations making up the twins.
The alternating orientation of the blocks creates a series of open terraces that feature amenities like gyms, pools and restaurants.
Scanning electron microscopy using electron-backscattered diffraction reveals the formation of near periodic patterns comprising domains with alternating orientation separated by narrow boundaries.
Other effects such as alternating orientation of the metal and hydrocarbon planes were observed.
The large size of these insertions and alternating orientation of the contained ORFs suggest that these rrs and rrl genes are no longer contained within a single transcriptional unit in either genome.
