Figure 4. Results of the ice-etching experiment. Left,
Photograph of etched ice hemisphere grown in the presence of
HPLC-12 type III AFP from ocean pout. Right, A representation of
the etched pattern. The etched surfaces, where the antifreeze
protein bound to the ice crystal, are shaded. The unshaded
regions represent ice surfaces that have remained mirror-like
and do not have bound protein molecules. The positions of the
crystallographic a-axis and c-axis are shown in the centre of
the Figure.
