Matsumura, K. and S.H. Hyon, Polyampholytes as low toxic efficient cryoprotective agents with antifreeze protein properties. Biomaterials, 2009, 30(27): p. 4842-9.

 

This article describes the behavior of polyampholytes as cryoprotective agents.  Why we like it: the studies are elegant.  They demonstrate teh influence of the agent of ice crystalization.  In addition, they demonstrate interaction between the polyampholyte.
