SharePhysical basis of action of biological ice nucleating agents.
Author(s) : WILSON P.
Type of article: Article
Summary
The paper reviews what is known about biological ice nucleating agents, including results of scanning-tunneling microscopy studies, and discusses their promotion of heterogeneous nucleation in supercooled solutions. A closer look at the form of the ice embryo helps to predict the size and shape required by a potential nucleation site to function at a given supercooling.
