We demonstrate that the Rhagium inquisitor antifreeze protein possesses great potential for applications requiring freeze resistance or the control of ice growth and morphology.

We expressed, purified, characterized and have begun optimizing the novel, hyperactive Rhagium inquisitor antifreeze protein using a variety of synthetic and molecular biology techniques.

A second year entrant to the iGEM competition, the Yale iGEM team is comprised of students from a wide range of backgrounds connected by a common passion for synthetic biology.
