IBS of RiAFP contains five expanded TXTXTXT motifs within the top (blue) β–sheet. These motifs are remarkably regular, allowing any rows/columns of TXTXTXT motifs to be exactly superposed onto any other rows/columns. Threonine residuses are crucial for maintaining antifreeze activity. It was found in other AFPs that mutations of the Thrs within these motifs decrease the thermal hysteresis. | |||
