interfering


Explanation:
That's a straightforward take-over from the English, as is often the case in scientific texts.

See example:

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/07/050716163714.ht...
"First discovered only a few brief years ago, microRNAs are small, remarkably powerful molecules that appear to play a pivotal role in gene silencing, one of the body's main strategies for regulating its genome. A scant 22 nucleotides in length, miRNAs appear to work by binding to and somehow ***interfering*** with messenger RNA, itself responsible for translating genes into proteins."

"RNA Interference
The gene-silencing horizon has significantly brightened recently by an emerging new technology called RNA interference (RNAi). RNAi is now the most talked about technology for target validation and therapeutics. RNAi technology involves targeting and ***interfering with messenger RNA (mRNA)***, a blueprint for building the protein being expressed. In this way, if a protein is involved in the progression of a disease, RNAi can be used to put a stop from it being expressed."
