Antifreeze proteins comprise a structurally diverse class of proteins that inhibit the growth of ice. Recently, new AFP types have been discovered; more active AFPs have been isolated; antecedents have been recognized supporting the notion of recent, multiple origins; and detailed structures have emerged leading to models for their adsorption to ice.
抗冻蛋白由一类结构多样的蛋白质组成,这些蛋白质可抑制冰的生长。最近,发现了新的抗冻蛋白类型;分离出了活性更高的抗冻蛋白;已经认识到一些前身情况,支持近期多次起源的观点;并且出现了详细的结构,从而产生了它们吸附到冰上的模型。
