The rational design and applications of synthetic antifreeze protein mimics

Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) and antifreeze glycoproteins (AFGPs) are proteins found in a wide variety of organisms adapted to survive in freezing temperatures. These proteins are powerful ice recrystallization inhibitors (IRI), slowing or even stopping ice crystal growth. This property is of signific...
