Structure of solvation water around the active and inactive regions of a type III antifreeze protein and its mutants of lowered activity.

Abstract excerpt

Water molecules from the solvation shell of the ice-binding surface are considered important for the antifreeze proteins to perform their function properly. Herein, we discuss the problem whether the extent of changes of the mean properties of solvation water can be connected with the antifreeze activity of the protein. To this aim, the structure of solvation water of a type III antifreeze protein from...
