Novel methods of improving freezing tolerance of organic materials through the use of antifreeze polypeptides is provided. These polypeptides increase the storage life of foodstuffs and biologics, as well as protect plant products, such as during growth. The antifreeze polypeptides, or their fusion proteins, may be produced chemically or by recombinant DNA techniques, and then purified for a variety of uses. |
