Meanings of functional synergy in English

Combinatorial association of DNA-binding proteins on composite binding sites enhances their nucleotide sequence specificity and functional synergy.

Taken together, the results indicated that cooperative interactions among PREs could not account for the observed functional synergy.

In initial mixing experiments, we demonstrated that the inhibitors do not interfere with each other and instead show functional synergy in inhibiting viral cell infection.

Transactivation by HNF-4 thus appears to result from functional synergy between the NHRRE binding HNF-4 and distal DNA elements containing intestinal-specific DNA binding activities.
