Abstract
The mechanism of the antifreeze glycoprotein/antifreeze protein intera ction on the surface of ice is analyzed. The theory of ice crystal gro wth in an AF(G)P solution is presented. A quantitative calculation of the growth rates for grain growth has been obtained. The anisotropic g rowth habits and growth rates of ice crystals in an AF(G)P solution ar e explained.
