'stepwise formation' is an acceptable phrase in written English.
It typically describes a gradual, incremental process of growth or development, usually in a particular order. For example, you could say: "The stepwise formation of a competitive team began with recruiting talented players and continued with the development of effective strategies."
Liu, R. & Ochman, H. Stepwise formation of the bacterial flagellar system.
Stepwise formation of coordination bonds was applied to fabricate linear and branched bis terpyridine)metal oligomer wires on gold and silicon surfaces.
It will be interesting to investigate the stepwise formation of a complex protein structure by determining the relative folding and assembly rates of subdomain AFUs.
The molecular structures of these metal oxo clusters provide insight into the stepwise formation of bismuth oxide following the hydrolysis/polycondensation route.
The adsorption on Ag(100) can be characterized by an equilibrium Γ(E -isotherm compatiblE -isothermepwise formation of three stable sorption layers.
Stepwise formation of micro- and mesopores was achieved and the peak pore size can be shifted from 0.8 nm up to 4 nm by increasing the chlorination temperature.
The continuous stepwise hydrate formation showed good efficiency in selective gas separation when the gas in equilibrium with the hydrate phase was used as a feed for the next step.
The corrosion of a metal dissolving stepwise with formation of low-valency intermediates and Mn+ ion as the final corrosion product proceeds by a complex electrochemical-chemical mechanism comprising following steps: M → M+ + e; M+ → Mn+ + (n − 1 Ox → Mn + )n − 1)O−x and Ox + e → O−x.
Beside the stepwise bond formation that seems to be the rate limiting step of the binding process, the encounter of the Ca2+ ion with the binding site, which is the first step in the binding process, raises interesting questions regarding the mechanism by which the ion approaches the binding site.
Using R7 photoreceptor neurons as a model we show that >90% of the growth cone filopodia exhibit fast, stochastic dynamics that persist despite ongoing stepwise layer formation.
Hence, we conclude that spatial chromatin organization and nuclear positioning orchestrate stepwise antigen receptor formation.
