Summary

CRYOSOLVENTS MAY MIMICTHE EFFECTS OF IONIC SOLUTES ON THE STRUCTURES AND FUNCTIONS OF MACROMOLECULAR ASSEMBLAGES, SHOWING ADDITIVE OR OPPOSITE EFFECTS DEPENDING ON THE RESPECTIVE CONCENTRATIONS. STUDIES ON MODEL SYSTEMS CLEARLY SHOW THE NATURE OF THE INTERACTIVE EFFECT AND BRING ABOUT USEFUL INFORMATION CONCERNING THE MECHANISM OF ACTION OF CRYOSOLVENTS AND IONS AND THE RESPONSE OF ENZYME SYSTEMS. SUCH RESULTS SUGGEST NEW STUDIES ON THE INTERACTION OF BIOPOLYMERS AND WATER AND THEIR POSSIBLE IMPACT ON THE CRYOBEHAVIOUR OF HIGHLY ORGANIZED AND LIVING SYSTEMS.
