Abstract excerpt
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of a growing ice-water interface of a pyramidal {2021} plane in the presence of a mutant of winter flounder antifreeze protein (AFP) were conducted. Simulation results indicated that the AFP was partially surrounded by ice grown at the pyramidal interface. The AFP stably bound to the interface only when AFP hydrophobic residues bound to ice. Simulation results also indicated a...
