Antifreeze Glycoproteins: Structure, Conformation, and Biological Applications
Abstract
Antifreeze glycoproteins (AFGPs) are a novel class of biologically significant compounds that possess the ability to inhibit the growth of ice both in vitro and in vivo. Any organic compound that possesses the ability to inhibit the growth of ice has many potential medical, industrial, and commercial applications. In an effort to elucidate the molecular mechanism of action, various spectroscopic and physical techniques have been used to investigate the solution conformations of these glycoproteins. This review examines the characterization of AFGPs and potential biological applications relating to stabilization of lipid membranes and vitrification adjuvants.

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.
