1. Enhancing the activity of a beta-helical antifreeze protein by the engineered addition of coils

Abstract

The effectiveness of natural antifreeze proteins in inhibiting the growth of a seed ice crystal varies with protein size. The repetitive nature of the beta-helical antifreeze protein (AFP) from T. molitor is exploited to investigate the relationship between thermal hysteresis (TH) activity and the size of the ice-binding face of an AFP.

Abstract

The studies about the antifreeze proteins (AFPs) produced in many types of fish species that are exposed to icy seawater to prevent freezing is presented. The studies identified a new AFP sequence of cDNA encoding gene designated as hyperactive type I AFP (hype-type I) which provide insight into its structure and evolutionary relationship.

3. Partitioning of fish and insect antifreeze proteins into ice suggests they bind with comparable affinity

Author

Marshall, Christopher B., Tomczak, Melanie M., Gauthier, Sherry Y., Kuiper, Micheal J., and Lankin, Christopher; Walker,Virginia K.; Davies, Peter L.

Subjects

Abstract

The binding avidity of the insect antifreeze proteins (AFPs) to ice is analyzed by examining the partitioning of proteins into a slowly growing ice hemisphere. Comparison of insect AFPs and fish AFPs binding affinity to ice is done.
