FIGURE 2.

Schematic of the model system. This figure shows the water/ice/water system with the antifreeze proteins. In the top view the positioning of the proteins can be observed. The protein placed in the left ice/water interfacial region has the Thr-Ala-Asx face of the protein facing the ice. The protein with the Thr-Ala-Ala side facing the ice is placed in the right ice/water interfacial region. The side view shows the antiparallel placement of the proteins relative to each other. For both the proteins the ribbon view is presented on the sides with the ice facing residues shown in stick representation.
