antifreeze protein

This phenomenon arises when biological antifreeze proteins are present in a solution.

Commercially, there appear to be countless applications for antifreeze proteins.

As temperatures fall, production of antifreeze proteins and dehydrins increases.

An antifreeze protein was identified several decades ago, but it offers only a certain amount of protection - down to about 29.3 degrees.

But a new study of Antarctic fish reveals a different origin for their antifreeze proteins.

That is what the fish antifreeze proteins do.

Now, Canadian researchers have identified another antifreeze protein in the fish that accounts for the extra protection.

Molecular interactions between antifreeze proteins and ice are being examined in a collaborative study.

However, insect antifreeze proteins are 10-30 times more active than fish proteins.

In fact, the purified antifreeze protein also displays a low level of ice-nucleation activity.

One day, he stumbled upon a New York Times story about antifreeze proteins.

Solutions that do not contain antifreeze proteins generally have identical freezing and melting points.

Key words: antifreeze proteins, low temperature stress, snow mold, winter flounder.

Despite half a century of research, the mechanism underlying the activity of the natural antifreeze proteins is still unclear.

Although many of the Antarctic species have antifreeze proteins in their body fluids, not all of them do.

Fletcher is a world leader in the study of fish antifreeze proteins and transgenic fish.

Arctic fish use antifreeze proteins, sometimes appended with sugars, as cryoprotectants.

Scientists have created a way to make an antifreeze protein that Canadian snow fleas use to survive winter temperatures.

"The concentration of the antifreeze proteins or the extent of the expression could be inadequate," she explained.

Also, a realignment of the nototheniids with the Gadiformes based on antifreeze protein data is suggested.

The Hebrew University researchers studied the antifreeze protein of the yellow mealworm.

Conversely, some organisms have special techniques to prevent crystallization from occurring, such as antifreeze proteins.

Unlike antifreeze proteins, xylomannan is not a protein.

The fish has antifreeze proteins in its blood, giving it the ability to survive in near-freezing waters.

The notothenioids feature an Antifreeze protein in their bloodstream that prevents them from freezing.
