Synthesis and activity evaluation of short antifreeze peptides of type I shorthorn sculpin antifreeze protein

Organisms living in cold environments are adapted to tolerate the freezing cold conditions and survive at subzero temperature by evolving antifreeze proteins (AFPs). AFPs bind to ice crystals and inhibit ice crystals growth and change their morphology. AFPs have function to depress the freezing poin...
