Antifreeze Compounds to Allow Survival at Temperatures below 0 C Deg.

Abstract:

The possible mechanism protecting the organisms against the freezing is shown. The presence of highly soluble proteins with no specific interaction allows the organism surviving the temperature below zero Celsius degree. The role of hydrophobic core and its structure (recognized as accordant with the idealized one) appears to be critical for antifreeze function of protein. The possible application of the model for biotechnological preparation of compounds protecting the solutions against freezing is discussed.
