The phrase "are suitable for defining" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it when discussing the appropriateness or effectiveness of certain terms, concepts, or criteria in relation to definitions.
Example: "The criteria we established are suitable for defining the parameters of our research study."
Alternatives: "are appropriate for defining" or "are fitting for defining".
Although the tools we used are suitable for defining the presence or absence of recognizable domains, they are unable to recognize smaller individual motifs and more divergent patterns.
While these tools are suitable for defining the presence or absence of recognizable domains, they are unable to recognize smaller individual motifs and more divergent patterns.
Such domain search tools are suitable for defining the presence or absence of roughly recognisable domains, but they are unable to recognize either smaller individual motifs or more divergent patterns.
Web modeling uses XML as description language which is suitable for defining markup languages.
The results obtained with the two methodologies are in good agreement and complement each other, since, while linear analysis is suitable for defining the critical Rayleigh values, direct simulations allow a detailed analysis of the flow field when the convective motion is fully developed.
These antibodies are expected to be suitable for defining the characteristic profile of pathological TDP-43 in human brain and biofluids, using immunostaining and immunoblotting.
CONCLUSIONS Deriving cut points for normal glycemia from distributions of FPG and 2-h plasma glucose does not appear to be suitable for defining diagnostic cut points for diabetes.
While a non-representative, but very sensitive surveillance method (e.g. the use of OVI light-suction traps) might be suitable for defining vector-free periods (as defined by EU legislation), the degree to which these data could be used as a proxy for biting rate in modelling of transmission was not well understood.
The TVG data, solved from the GRACE satellite orbit tracking, are provided in terms of spherical-harmonic Stokes coefficients that are suitable for representing data defined on the surface of a sphere.
Then, to identify novel antisense RNAs expressed in cancer tissues, we used the AFAS probes to analyze the expression patterns of sequences in the antisense strand of well-known protein-coding genes that are suitable for cancer research as defined in the Atlas Human Cancer 1.2 Array.
Evidently, only those parameters are suitable for validation, which are not implicitly defined in a model.
