Summary

IN THE CASE OF ICE NUCLEATION IN AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS, FOR EXAMPLE, STRUCTURAL COMPATIBILITY/INCOMPATIBILITY BETWEEN WATER, ICE AND SOLUTE MOLECULES IS ESSENTIAL. THE FACT MAY LEAD TO THE RECOGNITION THAT EVEN ISOTROPIC AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS ARE NOT HOMOGENEOUS MICROSCOPICALLY. BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS ARE MACROSCOPICALLY HETEROGENEOUS AND AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS IN THEM ARE SOMETIMES CONFINED IN SMALL SPACES OR COMPARTMENTALIZED BY THE CROSS-LINKED NETWORK STRUCTURES.
