The Thermal Hysteresis of the Type I Antifreeze Protein ‘HPLC-6’: The Effect of Small System

Abstract:

According to Hill’s thermodynamics theory for small system, the effect of small system on the thermal hysteresis activity of 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 thermal hysteresis temperature becomes larger when the effect of small system is considered.
