Gas hydrates have received considerable attention due to their important role in flow
assurance for the oil and gas industry, their extensive natural occurrence on Earth and …

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 …

Bacterial ice nucleators (INs) are among the most effective ice nucleators known and are
relevant for freezing processes in agriculture, the atmosphere, and the biosphere. Their …

Cold-adapted organisms produce antifreeze and ice-nucleating proteins to prevent and
promote ice formation. The crystal structure of hyperactive bacterial antifreeze protein (AFP) …

Organisms that thrive at cold temperatures produce ice-binding proteins to manage the
nucleation and growth of ice. Bacterial ice-nucleating proteins (INP) are typically large and …

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 …

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

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 …

Clathrate hydrates can spontaneously form under typical conditions found in oil and gas
pipelines. The agglomeration of clathrates into large solid masses plugs the pipelines …

We propose a model for slowing down of clathrate hydrate formation caused by kinetic
hydrate inhibitors (KHIs) on the basis of the Gibbs–Thomson effect. The residence time of …
