The phrase "are predicted to act" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing forecasts or expectations regarding someone's behavior or actions in the future.
Example: "Experts believe that the new policies are predicted to act as a catalyst for economic growth."
Alternatives: "are expected to behave" or "are forecasted to respond".
THZ and related compounds are predicted to act via the emrE-encoded efflux pump [10], [11], [51].
The result is remarkably similar to a previous report in which nearly 30% of apoplastic proteins are predicted to act on polysaccharides of the cell wall in Arabidopsis [8].
Four class 3 genes are predicted to act as kinases or phosphatases.
Various types of secreted effectors are predicted to act in the apoplast (apoplastic effectors) or cytoplasm (cytoplasmic effectors) [ 10, 18].
Halocyanins are predicted to act as one-electron carriers to the terminal oxidases in halophilic archaea [ 23, 108].
Human PARP6, PARP8 and PARP16 are predicted to act as mono(ADP-ribosyl) transferases and group together in Clade 6 [1,9].
Therefore, 5-sulfosalicylic acid was predicted to act as dopant during electropolymerization and as ionophore in the course of potentiometric determination of cupric ions.
18F-FAMT was predicted to act as a specific radiotracer of brain tumor tissue based on the low uptake by normal brain tissue compared with 18F-FDG and has proven specificity to detect gliomas [15].
For directly transmitted pathogens such as SNV, contact rates between infected and susceptible individuals represent the underlying mechanism through which diversity is predicted to act.
Tyr493 is the only Tyr residue of this segment and thereby the candidate for covalently binding the potent inhibitor NBD-Cl, which was predicted to act as a nucleotide analogue in F1FO ATP synthases [50].
Although such strong effects were not observed upon depletion of CG10075 (Table 2), which is predicted to act as an ubiquinol-cytochrome c chaperone in mitochondria, these results suggest that energy depletion and/or other mitochondrial dysfunction upon downregulation of these genes affect the functional organisation of the early secretory pathway.
