Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) bind to specific planes of ice to prevent or slow ice growth. Fluorescence-based ice plane affinity (FIPA) analysis is a modification of the original ice-etching method for determination of AFP-bound ice planes. AFPs are fluorescently labeled, incorporated into macroscopic single ice crystals, and visualized under UV light.

Using Eye-tracking to Assess the Relative Importance of Visual and Vestibular Input to Subcortical Motion Processing in the Roll Plane
0 Views •
2025
The methodology explored visual and vestibular contributions to gaze stabilization during optokinetic and whole-body rotations. Stimulations were carried out through visual, vestibular, and visuovestibular trials. Torsional eye-movement gain and nystagmus frequencies served as indicators for the subcortical relay of sensory-specific motion information towards the reflexive brainstem response for each trial.
FAQs
Crystallographic indices provide a standardized way to identify and distinguish planes within the ice lattice. When combined with molecular coordinates, they show how each selected plane is oriented, how far planes are spaced, and how water molecules are arranged relative to that surface. This gives structural comparisons a consistent basis rather than relying on an undifferentiated view of the crystal.
A plane view can connect the geometric arrangement of water molecules with the hydrogen-bond network that stabilizes ice. Examining molecular organization at a chosen orientation helps clarify how bonding is distributed near a surface or through the lattice. That relationship is useful for interpreting crystal growth, surface reactivity, and interactions involving species adsorbed to or dissolved near ice.
Different crystallographic planes expose different molecular arrangements and spacings, so orientation can influence how a model represents an ice surface. Comparing planes helps separate features associated with the crystal lattice from those associated with a particular viewing direction. In chemistry, this distinction supports more careful discussion of phase behavior and processes occurring at ice interfaces.
A typical workflow begins by representing the ice crystal lattice, selecting the crystallographic plane of interest, and assigning its crystallographic indices. Molecular coordinates are then used to place the water molecules relative to that plane. The resulting display can be inspected for surface orientation, interplanar spacing, and intermolecular organization, providing a structural basis for subsequent chemical interpretation.
The model can show where a plane lies in the lattice, how it is oriented, the spacing between planes, and how water molecules are organized around the selected surface. Those outputs let researchers relate a geometric representation to chemical questions, including hydrogen bonding, surface reactivity, crystal growth, and the behavior of ice during changes between phases.
It is useful when a study needs to examine how ice surfaces relate to surrounding chemistry. The approach can support investigations of freezing and heterogeneous nucleation, where ice forms in association with another substance, as well as atmospheric ice particles. It also helps analyze interactions between ice surfaces and chemical species that are dissolved or adsorbed there.
