Abstract:The spatio-temporal distribution of type-III antifreeze protein (AFP-III) molecules labeled with fluorescent isocyanate (FITC) was visualized at the interfaces between ice and solutions with an FITC-labeled AFP-III (F-AFP-III) concentration of 20−800 μg/mL by fluorescence microscopy. The number density of F-AFP-III on the surface of ice microcrystals was calculated from the calibrated fluorescence intensity. The adsorption of F-AFP-III molecules on the ice crystal surfaces proceeded at a finite rate and then r… Show more
