Ab-initio protein structure prediction of Leucosporidium antarcticum antifreeze proteins using I-TASSER simulations
Organisms living in cold environment produce some Antifreeze Protein (AFP) which exhibit special functions as a result of cold adaption. AFP is currently being identified in many organisms such as bacteria, plants, fish, and fungi that exposed to freezing stress. Due to the limited structural inform...
