Figure 8.
Figure 8. Model for the type III AFP bound to the {10 Image 0} plane of ice. (a) View nearly parallel to the ice surface, with the c-axis of the hexagonal ice vertical. Ice water molecules (including protons) are in CPK presentation, and the protein backbone is shown in stick presentation. The polar contacts or hydrogen bonds between protein atoms and ice surface atoms are indicated by yellow lines. (Figure generated using the program InsightII [Biosym, Palo Alto, CA].) (b) Presentation of the excluded molecular surface. The ice surface and protein surface is shown on the left and right, respectively. The applied color gradient from white via blue to red represents distances between the protein and ice surface in the complex from 0 å (direct contact) over 1.4 å (water inaccessible) to 3 å.
