The phrase "functional competition" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing market dynamics, business strategies, or economic theories where the functionality of competition is being analyzed.
Example: "In the tech industry, functional competition drives innovation and ensures that consumers have access to the best products."
Alternatives: "effective competition" or "operational competition."
In the functional competition model, fatty acids are not directly involved in the transport mechanism, but competitively overcome inhibition of a native proton conductance by ATP without displacing the nucleotide from the protein.
It indicates a distinct evolutionary history or functional competition.
The main suggested mechanisms are the flip-flop model [ 16], the cofactor model [ 17] and the functional competition model [ 18– 20].
The localization of Sema3A, VEGF165, and NRP1 almost overlapped, suggesting that functional competition for Sema3A and VEGF165 may influence these cells.
Indeed, a functional competition has previously been described between VEGF and Ang-1, with Ang-1 preventing vascular leakage in response to VEGF administration [ 48].
The binding interface between HSP90 and p23 (shown in purple) overlaps largely with that of AHA1 (shown in green), resulting in structural and functional competition between the two co-chaperones for HSP90 binding (Harst et al, 2005).
After two years of trying to build a culture that shifted from cross-functional competition to a shared sense of success, she was ready to give up.
Crown projection area, relative crown displacement and stem inclination were related to biotic (local species richness, functional richness, competition, stand age) and abiotic (slope aspect and inclination, soil depth) variables in the local neighbourhood of the tree individuals.
The results of mixed effects models showed that crown area was mainly affected by the target tree's dbh and biotic variables related to neighbours (competition, functional diversity), whereas stem inclination was mainly influenced by slope.
Functional redundancies and competition among DCL2, DCL3, and DCL4 in small RNA biogenesis have been reported [12, 13].
In addition, genetic data from Lindenberg et al. [ 7] yielded functional arguments against competition between YdaM and MlrA.
