Abstract

Significance: Controlling ice crystal growth is a grand scientific challenge with major technological ramifications. Some cold-adapted organisms such as fish and arthropods are protected against ice growth by producing antifreeze proteins (AFPs). These AFPs adsorb onto embryonic ice crystals, thereby inhibiting their growth. On a macroscopic level, this is evidenced by ice recrystallization inhibition (IRI) and thermal hysteresis (TH) activity. Our research demonstrates the absence of a clear correlation between TH and IRI activities, and underlines the importance of the extent of supercooling and annealing time on the efficacy of AFPs in blocking ice growth. We emphasize that successful application of AFPs and synthetic analogues in innovative strategies for cryoprotection, cryopreservation, and antiicing technologies requires optimization tailored toward the specific purpose.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
