- | + | ''Tm''AFP is an hyperactive antifreeze protein and its origin is the Tenebrio Mollitor beetle.Due to ''Tm''AFP, Tenebrio Mollitor beetle has resistance against freezing - provides protection against physical and osmotic stresses. | |
The protein consists of 84 amino acids and the molecular weight is 8.4 kDA. | The protein consists of 84 amino acids and the molecular weight is 8.4 kDA. | ||
TmAFP is protein rich of threonine and cystein in form of regular parallel beta-helix. It composed of 7 tandem repeats which consist of 12 amino acids-(TCTxSxxCxxAx). | TmAFP is protein rich of threonine and cystein in form of regular parallel beta-helix.
