Antifreeze protein's watery dance Most animals left in -30 C temperatures wouldn't last very long. Not only would they get hypothermia, but the water in their bodies would start to freeze. Some animals and plants, however, use antifreeze proteins to keep ice at bay.   |

Heated plastic holds proteins One important task for biochips is sorting proteins, but it's tricky business getting protein molecules to be where you want them and stay away from where you don't. A tiny, plastic-coated hot plate allows scientists to trap and release proteins on command. |
