Journal ArticleDOI
Adsorption inhibition as a mechanism of freezing resistance in polar fishes
TL;DR: A model in which adsorbed antifreezes raise the curvature of growth steps on the ice surface is proposed to account for the observed depression of the temperature at which freezing occurs and agrees well with experimental observations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Freezing Resistance in Some Antarctic Fishes
TL;DR: Measurements of serum freezing points in three Antarctic marine fishes indicated that they do not freeze in the -1.87�C seawater because their blood is isosmotic to seawater.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glycoproteins as biological antifreeze agents in Antarctic fishes.
TL;DR: The blood serums of Antarctic fishes freeze at -2�C, which is approximately 1�C below the melting points of their serums, which suggest that this thermal hysteresis results from the adsorption of the glycoprotein molecule onto the surface of ice crystals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adsorption of alpha-helical antifreeze peptides on specific ice crystal surface planes
TL;DR: The suggested mechanism of growth inhibition operates through the influence of local surface curvature upon melting point and results in complete inhibition of the crystal growth even though individual antifreeze molecules bind at only one interface orientation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical and physical properties of freezing point-depressing glycoproteins from Antarctic fishes
TL;DR: Studies of viscosity and circular dichroism and dialysis experiments indicate that the active glycoproteins are expanded molecules, a property which undoubtedly is of importance to their function.
