Expert writing Tips
Best practice
When describing interactions, always use the correct preposition, typically "with", to clarify the relationship between the interacting elements. For example, "the protein interacts with the enzyme" is grammatically correct.
Common error
Avoid using "interacts that" because it lacks a necessary preposition, such as "with". Omitting prepositions can lead to grammatically incorrect sentences and unclear communication.
