Abstract excerpt
Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) have unique features to sustain life in sub-zero environments due to ice recrystallization inhibition (IRI) and thermal hysteresis (TH). AFPs are in demand as agents in cryopreservation, but some antifreeze proteins have low levels of activity. This research aims to improve the cryopreservation activity of an AFPIV. In this in silico study, the helical peptide afp1m from an Antarctic...
