== Function ==

''Ri''AFP, like other AFPs, adsorb to the surface of ice crystals and lower the temperature at which these crystals grow. Consequently, creating a difference between the melting point and the freezing point known as thermal hysteresis (TH), within which the ice growth is arrested<ref>DOI 10.1098/rsif.2014.0526</ref>. It is well accepted that AFPs inhibit ice crystals growth through the adsorption inhibition model<ref>~~DOI 10.1016/S0006-3495(91)82234-2~~</ref>. According to this model AFPs bind to an ice crystal surface and block water molecules from accessing it at the bound location. The ice front thus becomes convex toward the solution between the surface-bound AFPs, creating the microcurvature. Thus, the ice grow is less favorable due to Gibbs-Thompson-Herring (Kelvin) effect, which leads to noncolligative depression of the freezing point (Tf) of the solution (thermal hysteresis).
