ShareIce binding structure and mechanism of an antifreeze protein from winter flounder.
Author(s) : SICHERI F., YANG D. S. C.
Type of article: Article
Summary
Antifreeze proteins provide fish with protection against the freezing effect of polar environments by binding to ice surfaces and inhibiting growth of ice crystals. The authors present the X-ray crystal structure at 1.5 angström resolution of a lone alpha-helical antifreeze protein from winter flounder, which provides a detailed look at its ice-binding features.
