Table 2. Estimates of the maximum fraction of the solvent-cavity space occupied by ice in glycerol-free crystals of apoferritin, thaumatin and lysozyme at temperatures between 180 and 220 K, as described in Supplementary Section S8.
| Fraction of internal solvent that forms ice | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Apoferritin | Thaumatin | Lysozyme | |
| Fraction of solvent exiting the unit cell (%) | |||
| f exit = 0 | 59 ± 13 | 35 ± 6 | 17 ± 5 |
| f exit, ‘bulk’ | 45 ± 13 | 25 ± 6 | 8 ± 6 |
| f exit, ‘perturbed’ | 47 ± 13 | 29 ± 6 | 12 ± 6 |
| Fraction of solvent >2.8 Å from protein (%) | 83 | 70 | 29 |
| Fraction of solvent >5.6 Å from protein (%) | 55 | 31 | 0.5 |
| Estimated thickness of unfreezable layer (Å) | 6.6 ± 1.8 | 6.9 ± 0.9 | 5.1 ± 1.4 |
