Whale, T.F. orcid.org/0000-0002-1062-2685 (2023) Quantification of the Ice Nucleation Activity of Ice-Binding Proteins Using a Microliter Droplet Freezing Experiment. In: Drori, R. and Stevens, C., (eds.) Ice Binding Proteins: Methods and Protocols. Methods in Molecular Biology, 2730 . Springer Nature , pp. 121-134. ISBN 978-1-0716-3502-5
Abstract
Many ice-binding proteins can stimulate nucleation of ice from supercooled liquid water. Quantification of ice nucleation usually involves cooling a population of droplets and observing their freezing temperatures. Here, a method for measuring the freezing temperatures of microliter-scale droplets is described and its application to quantifying a substances’ ice nucleation activity discussed.
