An intriguing question concerning AFP function is how the high selectivity for ice ligand is achieved in the presence of free water of much higher concentration which likely imposes a large kinetic barrier for protein-ice recognition.
Subsequently, we speculate that the hydrophobic hydration occurring on the ice binding surface plays a role in facilitating protein-ice recognition by lowering the kinetic barrier as suggested by some simulation studies.
It is hard to tackle this question experimentally, whereas various simulation studies pointed out the occurrence of hydrophobic hydration on ice-binding surface, and/or suggested that the interfacial water is mediating protein-ice recognition [2], [11] [16].
We speculate that the hydrophobic hydration of the ice binding surface is involved in initial protein-ice recognition by lowering the kinetic barrier as also suggested by recent simulation studies [13], [14].
He was also named a finalist for the Lady Byng trophy, awarded for sportsmanship and "gentlemanly conduct" on the ice, in recognition of his maturation.
Studies of AFPs, which are based on recognition of ice plane and structural motifs, have provided vital information that point towards the mechanism responsible for executing antifreeze activity.
A much higher degree of inheritance in the field-based ice-flow indicator data, than previously reported, allows for recognition of multiple ice-flow phases.
To identify damages of electrical messenger wire in the icing environment, a synergetic damage recognition approach was put forward.
This is because imprinted silencing is triggered by recognition of the unmethylated ICE by an epigenetic initiator, whereas recognition is blocked on the other allele by ICE methylation.
Erratics played an important part in the initial recognition of the last ice age and its extent.
A man who says he has beaten the world record for staying submerged in ice said he would not seek recognition from the Guinness Book of World Records.
