Antifreeze proteins and ice‐binding proteins have been discovered in a diverse range of
extremophiles and have the ability to modulate the growth and formation of ice crystals …

Biological antifreezes are a relatively large and diverse class of proteins (and very recently
expanded to include lipopolysaccharides) which are capable of interacting with ice crystals …

A series of structurally diverse polymers, containing either peptide or vinyl-derived
backbones, was tested for ice recrystallization inhibition activity, which is commonly …

This manuscript reports a detailed study on the ability of poly (vinyl alcohol) to act as a
biomimetic surrogate for antifreeze (glyco) proteins, with a focus on the specific property of …

Ice recrystallization inhibitors (IRI) are of critical importance in biology, cryopreservation of
cells and organs, and frozen foods. Antifreeze glycoproteins (AFGPs) are the most potent …

The ability of polyols to act as ice recrystallisation inhibitors (IRI), inspired by antifreeze
(glyco) proteins are studied. Poly (vinyl alcohol), PVA, a known IRI active polymer was …

Antifreeze proteins from polar fish species are remarkable biomacromolecules which
prevent the growth of ice crystals. Ice crystal growth is a major problem in cell/tissue …

The role of hydration in modulating solution conformation, molecular recognition, and
biological activity of oligosaccharides, proteins, and nucleotides is widely recognized but is …

The development of improved cryopreservative materials is necessary to enable complete
recovery of living cells and tissue after frozen storage. Remarkably, poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) …

Ice recrystallization occurs during cryopreservation and is correlated with reduced cell
viability after thawing. Therefore, ice recrystallization inhibition (IRI) activity is a very …
