Synopsis: This volume provides methods to study ice-binding proteins (IBPs), and applications involving these proteins. Chapters are divided into three parts describing identifying, isolating, and purifying ice-binding proteins, characterize both IBPs and ice-nucleating proteins (INPs), and synthesize mimics of IBPs, as well as applications involving these proteins. Written in the format of the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, each chapter includes an introduction to the topic, lists necessary materials and reagents, includes tips on troubleshooting and known pitfalls, and step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols. Authoritative and cutting-edge, Ice Binding Proteins: Methods and Protocols aims to provide both experimental and simulations protocols to help new researchers, break-the-ice, and enter this exciting field, while also supporting established researchers broaden the scope of their investigations.
