In cell-free systems, stress-resistant proteins nonspecifically stabilize stresssusceptible proteins. This mechanism has been suggested to contribute to therrnotolerance in cells (Minton et al.: Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 79: 71 07-71 17,1982). To test this hypothesis, red-blood-cell-mediated rnicr
Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) found in many organisms can noncolligatively lower the freezing point of water without altering the melting point. The difference between the depressed freezing point and the melting point, termed thermal hysteresis (TH), is usually a measure of the antifreeze activity of
## Abstract A thermal hysteresis producing antifreeze protein was isolated from larvae of the beetle, __Tenebrio molitor__. This is the first thermal hysteresis protein purified from an insect. The specific activity of the __Tenebrio__ antifreeze is somewhat greater than that of the fishes. The com
