Antifreeze Proteins: Activity Comparisons and De Novo Design of an Ice-Binding Protein
Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) help cold-adapted organisms survive below 0 ◦C by binding to and inhibiting the growth of ice crystals. In this way, AFPs depress the freezing point of aqueous fluids below the melting point of ice (thermal hysteresis; TH). They also have the ability to inhibit ice recr...
