On the differential impact of point mutations of antifreeze protein type III on ice recrystallization inhibition and thermal hysteresis activities.
Ice-binding proteins (IBPs) enable cold-adapted organisms to survive by modulating ice growth. IBPs display distinct types of activities, notably thermal hysteresis (TH) activity and ice recrystallization (IRI) activity, but it remains unclear how the different activities relate to IBP structure. Here, we examine how t...
