ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an antifreeze protein, wherein thermal hysteresis activity and ice recrystallization inhibitory activity are artificially improved. The antifreeze protein is multimerized using a polypeptide linker to improve the thermal hysteresis and ice nuclei growth inhibitory effects in low concentrations.
