Ice Growth Inhibition in Antifreeze Polypeptide Solution by Short-Time Solution Preheating.

The objective of this study is to enhance the inhibition of ice growth in the aqueous solution of a polypeptide, which is inspired by winter flounder antifreeze protein. We carried out measurements on unidirectional freezing of the polypeptide solution. The thickness of the solution was 0.02 mm, and...
