Extreme cold marine and freshwater temperatures (below 4° C) induce massive
deterioration to the cell membranes of organisms resulting in the formation of ice crystals …

Freezing has a long history as an effective food preservation method, but traditional freezing
technologies have quality limitations, such as the potential for water loss and/or shrinkage …

Radiation damage remains one of the major bottlenecks to accurate structure solution in
protein crystallography. It can induce structural and chemical changes in protein crystals …

When biomedical materials come into contact with body fluids, the first reaction that occurs
on the material surface is hydration; proteins are then adsorbed and denatured on the …

Ice recrystallization is a phenomenon observed as the increase in ice crystal size within an
already frozen material. Antifreeze proteins (AFPs), a class of proteins capable of arresting …

Potent ice nucleating organic crystals display an increase in nucleation efficiency with
pressure and memory effect after pressurization that set them apart from inorganic …

Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) inhibit ice growth by adsorbing onto specific ice planes. Microbial
AFPs show diverse antifreeze activity and ice plane specificity, while sharing a common …

The ice/water interface recognition mechanism of antifreeze proteins (AFPs) is highly
contentious. Conventionally, protein adsorption on a solid surface is primarily driven by the …

Using molecular dynamics simulations, we show that a molecule of moderately active
antifreeze protein (type III AFP, QAE HPLC-12 isoform) is able to interact with ice in an …

The concentration of a protein is highly related to its biochemical properties, and is a key
determinant for its biotechnological applications. Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) and antifreeze …
