General Concept of Antifreeze Proteins

There are three characteristic functions of AF(G)Ps that make them unique. First, they lower the freezing temperature of water by inhibiting the growth of existing 

Growth Inhibition by Adsorption of AFGP Molecules on the Interface 

MD Simulation ofthe Ice-Water Interface to Which an Antifreeze Protein Is Bound 

In real systems, AFPs bind to ice-water interfaces rather than ice plane surfaces. Thus, MD simulations have also been performed for an ice-water interface 

Why did the large decrease in R occur only for ice surrounding the AFP that was stably bound to the growing interface The interfaces of ice surrounding the AFP for conformations A and B were curved. Generally, at a curved crystal interface becomes locally lower than of a bulk crystal due to the Gibbs-Thomson (or the
