A Look at What Happens to Supercooled Proteins

The human body functions best within an optimal temperature range. If temperatures are raised or lowered beyond this range, bodily functions can be altered or cease altogether. On a molecular level, the same is true. Research regarding how temperature changes—particularly suboptimal temperatures—affect the various components of the human body has been ongoing for decades. However, new research involving individual cells at extremely low temperatures has revealed a great deal about how they change and continue to function while cooled.
