Abstract excerpt
Dehydrins are intrinsically disordered proteins which are related to cold tolerance in plants. Dehydrins show potent cryoprotective activities for freeze-sensitive enzymes such as lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). Previous studies demonstrated that K-segments conserved in dehydrins had cryoprotective activities and that K-segment activities depended on the hydrophobic amino acids in the segment. However, the...
