High Water Density at Non-Ice-Binding Surfaces Contributes to the Hyperactivity of Antifreeze Proteins

[Image: see text] Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) can bind to ice nuclei thereby inhibiting their growth and their hydration shell is believed to play a fundamental role. Here, we use molecular dynamics simulations to characterize the hydration shell of four moderately-active and four hyperactive AFPs. T...
