The phrase "atoms as potential" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing the theoretical or conceptual aspects of atoms, particularly in scientific or philosophical discussions about their capabilities or roles.
Example: "In quantum mechanics, we often think of atoms as potential, representing the various states they can occupy."
Alternatives: "atoms as possibilities" or "atoms as capabilities".
The molecular electrostatic potential map shows that the negative potential sites are on the electronegative atoms as well as the positive potential sites are around the hydrogen atoms.
Previously, we synthesized and evaluated several thienopyrimidine derivatives containing heterocyclic ring substituents linked to the pyrimidine-2-thione nucleus at C-2 by a two- to four-atom spacer as potential anti-HIV-1 and antimicrobial agents.
(1H-Pyridin-4-ylidene)amines containing lipophilic side chains at the imine nitrogen atom were prepared as potential clopidol isosteres in the development of antimalarials.
Most people can tolerate that one little oxygen atom, as long as two hydrogen atoms are tagging along.
Structural models obtained using molecular-dynamics (MD) simulations with an empirical and an embedded-atom potential, as well as structural data on liquid lead obtained from neutron and X-ray diffraction by other authors, have been put to a test using our new experimental results.
Novel thalidomide dithiocarbamate analogs (containing 2 sulfur atoms) were designed and synthesized as potential anti-tumor agents.
In these OLED devices, it is established that selenophene based compounds with a "heavy-atom effect" can be used as potential emitters when exciplex phenomena are involved.
On the basis of the structures consisting of a heterocycle and two additional lipophilic or aromatic motifs in a trigonal or tetragonal arrangement around a central atom, these compounds are recognized as potential CYP51 inhibitors, although their mechanism of action has not been confirmed.
Recently, high-Z atoms containing nanoparticles (NPs) have been proposed as potential nanodrugs to improve the effects of radiation-based therapies [2]-[5].
