Nanoscopic Origin of Enhanced Tyrosine-Mediated Water Ordering over Canonical Threonine Motifs in a Bacterial Ice-Nucleating Protein
Bacterial ice-nucleating proteins (INPs) are known as the most efficient biological heterogeneous ice nucleators. Ice-nucleation ability is conventionally attributed to the threonine-based conserved motifs of {beta} -helical INPs, whereas the role of other conserved motifs remains overlooked. To identify the motif with the highest hydration-ordering ability, a 16-loop model INP and its two…
