摘要: We study the properties of water at surface an antifreeze protein with femtosecond sum frequency generation spectroscopy. find clear evidence for presence ice-like layers ice-binding site in aqueous solution temperatures above freezing point. Decreasing temperature to biological working (0 °C −2 °C) increases amount water, while a single point mutation is observed completely disrupt character and eliminate activity. Our observations indicate that not itself but ordered are responsible recognition binding ice.
