The Effects of Small System on the Type I Antifreeze Protein ‘HPLC-6’

Abstract:

According to Hill’s thermodynamics theory for small system, the effect of small system on the type I antifreeze protein ‘HPLC-6’ is discussed in this article. We conclude that when the solution is very dilute, the effect is not visible, and as the concentration increases, the effect becomes more visible than before, and the result also shows that the number of molecules on the ice surface becomes larger when the effect of small system is considered.
