Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) represent a distinctive class of proteins that exist in organisms thriving in sub-zero conditions and act as an inhibitor of ice growth by binding to the ice interfaces. The melting or growing inhibition characterization can explain the adsorption–inhibition mechanism. Thi...
