摘要
Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) help organisms to survive below 0degreesC by inhibiting ice growth. Although AFPs are structurally diverse, they typically present a large proportion of their surface area for binding to ice. Whereas earlier proposed binding mechanisms relied almost entirely on a hydrogen bond match between the AFP and ice, it now seems probable that van der Waals and hydrophobic interactions make a significant contribution to the enthalpy of adsorption. These interactions require intimate surface-surface complementarity between the receptor (AFP) and its ligand (ice).
