Effect of antifreeze protein on nucleation, growth and memory of gas hydrates
The effect of Type I antifreeze protein (AFP) from winter flounder on the formation of propane hydrate and methane hydrate was studied. We show that the formation of both hydrates is inhibited significantly, with both nucleation and crystal growth being affected. Also, AFP showed the so-far unique a...
