β¦ Synopsis
By use of the Flory-Huggin lattice model, the kinetic theory of the thermal hysteresis (the difference between the growing point and melting point of ice crystals) of a macromolecule solution is presented. As an example, the thermal hysteresis of an antifreeze protein solution is calculated.

## Abstract We propose an analytical approach to calculate the effective dielectric function of proteins in aqueous solution. The screening effect if quantified by a measure of enclosure which is based on the distribution of solute atomic volumes around a pair of charges in a macromolecule. For pro
