Extremophiles produce macromolecules which inhibit ice recrystallization, but there is
increasing interest in discovering and developing small molecules that can modulate ice …

Ice formation is a ubiquitous process that poses serious challenges for many areas. Nature
has evolved a variety of different mechanisms to regulate ice formation. For example, many …

Hyperactive insect antifreeze proteins and bacterial ice-nucleating proteins are arguably the
most potent ice-binding molecules in nature. These highly effective proteins bind ice through …

Several simple mono-and disaccharides have been assessed for their ability to inhibit ice
recrystallization. Two carbohydrates were found to be effective recrystallization inhibitors. d …

Although materials for ice recrystallization inhibition (IRI) are essential for the
cryopreservation of cells and tissues, there exists no guiding mechanism for the design of …

Antifreeze (glyco) proteins (AF (G) Ps) are potent inhibitors of ice recrystallization and may
have biotechnological applications. The most potent AF (G) Ps function at concentrations a …

Recrystallizationisaphenomenonthat is welldocumented in thegeologicaland metallurgical
literature. In metallurgy, the phenomenon can be formally defined as the process by which …

Understanding the ice recrystallisation inhibition (IRI) activity of antifreeze biomimetics is
crucial to the development of the next generation of cryoprotectants. In this work, we bring …

Ice binding proteins modulate ice nucleation/growth and have huge (bio) technological
potential. There are few synthetic materials that reproduce their function, and rational design …

Ice formation and recrystallization is a key phenomenon in freezing and freeze-drying of
pharmaceuticals and biopharmaceuticals. In this investigation, high-resolution synchrotron X …
