An Ultrapotent, Ultraeconomical, Antifreeze Polypeptide
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Simple and inexpensive polypeptides composed of random copolymers of alanine and glutamic acid are effective antifreezes for applications in foods and biomedicine. The polypeptides, inspired by natural extremophile proteins, inhibit the growth of large ice crystals and prevent damage to sensitive biologics.
