ABSTRACT
Antifreeze protein’s (AFP) are proteins which have an important function of ice binding and growth inhibition of ice crystals and found in plants, bacteria, fungi, invertebrates and fish. In this present study 17 Sequence of fish antifreeze proteins were selected for their Physiochemical properties, Secondary structure, Homology modeling, validation, and for functional analysis. Insilco tools were used to describe the physiochemical, functional and structural properties of these protein. Physico-chemical properties like as molecular weight, amino acid composition, isoelectric point, charge residue, Grand average of hydropathicity, instability index are computed .The studies give insight into fish antifreeze protein structure.
Key words: Antifreeze protein, Fish, Isoelectric point, Ice binding, Physiochemical properties.
