In contrast, to measure longer-term and habitual intakes, the more-stable functional pools, in particular MNCs or platelets, should be used.
We examined functional status at T2 because functional status 18 months post-disaster is more stable than functional status three weeks after the disaster.
The presence of more stable surface functional groups in both thermally treated OCNTs and untreated NCNTs is assumed to be responsible for the less severe sintering of the iron carbide nanoparticles during reaction.
Thus, it is possible that bypassing dysferlin mutations could lead to more stable, (partly) functional dysferlin proteins and would therefore have therapeutic potential.
We conclude that Smc3AAA interferes with the ability of Smc1DD/Smc3 heterodimers in conferring sister chromatid cohesion, an effect that may be, at least partly, caused by the fact that dysfunctional Smc1DD/Smc3AAA dimers are more stable than functional Smc1DD/Smc3 dimers.
Upon knockdown of AHA1, a co-chaperone that, together with HSP90, alters the maturation of CFTR, CFTR ΔF508 is not only more stable, but partially functional (Wang et al., 2006).
These functional modules provide several advantages as they (1) reduce potential passenger signals; (2) overcome the well-known over-fitting problems; and (3) make the effects of the biomarkers more stable due to the functional interactions between the genes in a functional module.
The fact that viruses invest in modifying the D1 proteins led to the hypothesis that an adaptive role for this function is involved, facilitating adaptation to harsh light conditions or modifying the D1 role for their selfish benefits (a more stable D1 that is functional only for the short time of infection).
Taken together, these results suggest that the insertion of the T4 lysozyme moiety (major difference between the two receptor variants) may play a crucial role assisting the molecule to attain a functional and/or more stable conformation in preformed NLPs.
Greater functional gene diversity in organically managed soils suggests that organic systems may also support more stable or resilient ecosystem functioning.
One modification of polyacetylene that scientists had experimented with in order to build a similar but more stable molecule was the placement of functional groups such as aromatic rings on every other triple bond.
