I would like to biomanufacture freezing responsive antifreeze proteins like Fr10 and Li16. I am interested in their use in helping to cryopreserve frogs, as well as their (or similar material) potential in helping to preserve animal tissues and organs. As a first stage, I merely wish to create more of them and similar. Source: Biggar KK, Kotani E, Furusawa T, Storey KB.

TBD&#10;Create a repository for your project, and inside it a folder named for you and your project, e.g. lastname-project. Awaiting Kernel Access but the provisional name for the repository is: Palmer-Project_ZP_Freeze&#10;Spend some time exploring: open an existing part and an existing construct and notice the difference. Check out the different tools and ask Kernel AI some questions!
