NMR characterizations of the ice binding surface of an antifreeze protein. PLoS One. 2010;5(12):e15682 Authors: Hong J, Hu Y, Li C, Jia Z, Xia B, Jin C Antifreeze protein (AFP) has a unique function of reducing solution freezing temperature to protect organisms from ice damage. However, its functional mechanism is not well understood. An intriguing question concerning AFP function is how the high selectivity for ice ligand is achieved in the presence of free water of...	nmrlearner	Journal club	0	01-07-2011 11:21 PM

Biochem Cell Biol. 1998;76(2-3):284-93 Authors: Sönnichsen FD, Davies PL, Sykes BD Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) are a structurally diverse class of proteins that bind to ice and inhibit its growth in a noncolligative manner. This adsorption-inhibition mechanism operating at the ice surface results in a lowering of the (nonequilibrium) freezing point below the melting point. A lowering of approximately 1 degree C, which is sufficient to...	nmrlearner	Journal club	0	11-17-2010 11:06 PM
