Sentence examples for binds to the ice from inspiring English sources

Since the ice-binding site is stabilized in solution, there should not be much entropy loss when it binds to the ice surface.

Moderately active AFPs such as Type III AFP (and Type III AFP-GFP) have been shown to bind to the ice basal planes, with the low activity LpAFP binding to the prism planes [19], [20].

Residues that bind to the ice lattice lie on a nearly flat surface, which may also accept small backbone conformational changes to interact more effectively with the ice lattice surface and inhibit ice crystal growth.

(B ) AFPs selectively bind to the ice, while non-AFPs are excluded.

The specific arrangement and position of these residues is however fundamental for the activity of AFPs in order to bind to the ice surface with a particular orientation.

The formation of hexagonal column ice crystals in the presence of sbwAFP suggests that sbwAFP binds to the prismatic plane and inhibit ice growth on the plane, but it does not necessarily mean that the prismatic plane growth occurs by a step growth mode.

Specifically, cyclosporine binds to the cyclophillin receptor.

Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) can bind to the surface of ice crystals and have also been suggested to protect cells from hypothermic damage.

Many overwintering organisms, including insects, fish, bacteria, fungi, and plants, accumulate AFPs that bind to the faces of ice crystals during freezing and inhibit their growth [ 71].

Our simulations have shown that sbwAFP activity depends on binding and arranging water in a similar periodicity to ice which in turn bind to the prism face of ice, and that the ordered water plays a crucial role in determining ice plane specificity and integrating into the ice lattice.

The sbwAFP remained bound to ice, stabilizing an ice protrusion directly beneath the AFP approximately 7 Å high relative to the main ice front.
