Active

1. Describing a security that is traded with relative frequency. Many investors look to active securities because they can be traded, even in rather large quantities, without affecting the price. Active securities usually have a low bid-ask spread.

2. Describing a market or exchange with a high trading volume.

active

Of or relating to a security in which there is a great deal of trading. Active securities appeal to many investors because they usually can be traded without affecting the price. In over-the-counter trading, an active security usually has a smaller spread between the bid and ask price. See also most-active stocks.

The common approach mentioned above could not analyze the nature of the local active sites or the structuring surface providing only the average reaction rate.
In situ measurement of local hydrogen production rate by bubble-evolved recording
This unusual result can be explained by the formation of bimolecular species between propagating chains and the neodymium complex, which causes the decrease of the number of active sites and consequently of the polymer yield.
Analysis of solution polybutadiene polymerizations performed with a neodymium catalyst
Lib dock docks ligand into the active site by calculating hot spots and using polar and a polar probes and these hot spots are further used to align ligands to form interactions 16.

[beta] Cas are also zinc metalloenzymes; however the zinc is coordinated by two Cys and one His in the active site (x, x+56, x+59, where x=68 in Can2) [38].
Crystallography and Its Impact on Carbonic Anhydrase Research
Molecular dynamics simulations provided an insight into the role of molecules of water in the enzyme active site. ANF forms the hydrogen bond with a water molecule, but during the simulations, different water molecules interact with ANF at different points of time [70].

However, in the past two months, staff at the King County Department of Permitting and Environmental Review (DPER) received noise complaints from the more than 50 homes within a quarter-mile of the active site. "It's just in the last month that they've produced enough product to have trucks come in," Fred White, a DPER inspector overseeing the quarry site told the Snoqualmie Valley Record.
