Peptidic Antifreeze Materials: Prospects and Challenges [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019
Necessitated by the subzero temperatures and seasonal exposure to ice, various organisms have developed a remarkably effective means to survive the harsh climate of their natural habitats. Their ice-binding (glyco)proteins keep the nucleation and growth of ice crystals in check by recognizing and binding to specific ice crystal faces, which arrests ...
