Novel cryoprotective agents
Published on: Tuesday 09, February 2010Matsumura, 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.
