Characterization of microbial antifreeze protein with intermediate activity suggests that a bound-water network is essential for hyperactivity

Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) inhibit ice growth by adsorbing onto specific ice planes. Microbial AFPs show diverse antifreeze activity and ice plane specificity, while sharing a common molecular scaffold. To probe the molecular mechanisms responsible for AFP activity, we here characterized the antifre...
