9. The crystal plane selectivity of AFGP adsorption was presumed to be a consequence of the distance (9.31 Å, assuming the polypeptide chains to be in the proline helix conformation) between two sugar hydroxyls (i.e. between two threonines) corresponding approximately to twice the distance (2 × 4.52 Å) between hydroxyls on the neobasal face but not to the corresponding distance (7.4 Å) on the basal plane (note however that the 4.52 Å separation is not unique to the prism face). See ref 10 for further discussion and critique, based on a detailed appraisal of antifreeze protein I (AFPI), which shares many structural features with the AFGP.

15. All water used was purified in a "Nanopure" installation (Barnstead, OH) and typically had a resistivity of 18 MΩ cm.
16. Ultimately, investigation of the adsorption on ice using AFM and OWLS is a goal, but this raises presently insuperable technical difficulties.

29. Since at present we only have available a mixture of the AFGPs whose proportions are not known exactly and which cannot be separated at a reasonable yield, we start with calculations assuming either of the two extreme situations: either all the proteins are AFGP 1 (the largest) or all are AFGP 5 (the smallest).
