摘要
Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) prevent freezing of the body fluids of plants and animals inhabiting low temperature environments. Recently their role in cold adaptation of bacteria is also coming to the limelight. This article discusses some of these recent findings. Biotechnological importance of AFPs is also highlighted.
