Baardsnes, et al (1999) created mutations that reduced the protein's ice-binding ability. They also compared the sequences of five different type I AFP molecules. They concluded that the "face" with the repeated Threonines promotes binding to ice crystals. | Baardsnes, et al (1999) created mutations that reduced the protein's ice-binding ability.
