Nonequilibrium antifreeze peptides and the recrystallization of ice.

Author(s) : KNIGHT C. A., WEN D., LAURSEN R. A.

Type of article: Article

Summary

Since the concentration of salt required to induce the special recrystallization inhibition effects of antifreeze peptides is lower (lower than 10 milliM) than that found normally in physiological fluids, antifreeze peptides could play a role in the survival of organisms by preventing damage due to recrystallization.
