We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

Leucosporidium sp.(Arctic yeast)

Leucosporidium is a genus of fungi in the subdivision Pucciniomycotina. These species have been isolated predominantly from cold environments and are regarded as psychrotolerant

Structural highlights

The beta-roll motif in this protein sets up a line of amino acids capable of hydrogen-bonding water molecules. The distance between these amino acids in the is spaced in such a way that these hydrogen bonds disrupt the formation of ice.
