Function

to constrain the process of recrystalization of water as Fishes swim to colder climates , for example like the winter flounder migrating to the northern pole. The molecule is found in many other fish as well that migrate to colder climates such as the shorthorn sculpin, and longhorn sculpin. The function is to depress freezing temperature in order to stop the process of recrystallization to occur.[3] recrystallization is When water begins to freeze, many small crystals form, but then a few small crystals dominate and grow larger and larger, stealing water molecules from the surrounding small crystals. Thus making it manageable for fishes like the winter flounder to swim in colder climates.[4]

Structure

This version of AFP could be recorded as the best documented, for it is the first to have three-dimensional structure determined. it is about 3.3 to 4.5 k Daltons in size. its structure consists of single, long, amphipathic alpha helix. The three dimensional structure consists of three faces: a hydrophobic face, a hydrophilic face, and a Thr-Asx face[8]

PDB ID 4ke2
