A study on the growth rates of ice crystals in a solution of antifreeze (Glyco) proteins

Junjie Liu, Qian‐Zhong Li

Abstract

By analysing the interaction between the antifreeze glycoprotein/ antifreeze protein and ice crystal surface the theory of ice crystal growth along the c-axis in an AF(G)P solution is presented. The quantitative calculation of the growth rates was given. The theoretical results are consistent with the experimental data. The anisotropic growth habits and the growth rates of ice crystals in the AF(G)P solution were explained.
