Figure 3. Section view of the sbwAFP simulation setup.
The seed ice crystal is shown in dark blue, constrained disordered water coloured cyan and unrestrained water is coloured red. The sbwAFP is centrally positioned 20 Å above the seed ice. The prism face of the seed ice crystals is angled approximately 4.3° with respect to the long axis of the simulation box, such that the periodic image of the seed ice is consistent with itself at the edges.
Figure 3—figure supplement 1. Perspective view of the model showing the seed ice as dark blue spheres and free waters as transparent surface.
The blue line is parallel to the a-axis of ice (prism face) while the red line is parallel to the c-axis of ice. The green lines represent the relative alignment of the sbwAFP with the ice.
