Structure and evolutionary origin of Ca(2+)-dependent herring type II antifreeze protein.

Structure and evolutionary origin of Ca(2+)-dependent herring type II antifreeze protein.

In order to survive under extremely cold environments, many organisms produce antifreeze proteins (AFPs). AFPs inhibit the growth of ice crystals and protect organisms from freezing damage. Fish AFPs can be classified into five distinct types based on their structures. Here we report the structure o...
