摘　　要：A statistical thermodynamic theory of linear protein solutions was proposed with the aid of a lattice model and applied to type Ⅰ antifreeze protein（AFPI） solutions.The numerical results for several AFPI solutions show that the Gibbs function of the solution has a minimum at a certain protein concentration,but the protein chemical potential increases with increasing the concentration.The influences of temperature and protein chain length on the AFPI chemical potential were also discussed.The evaluation for the colligative depression of the freezing point confirms that the antifreeze action should be recognized as non-colligative.The theoretical deduction for the concentration dependence of the thermal hysteresis activity coincides qualitatively with the previous experimental and theoretical results.A statistical thermodynamic theory of linear protein solutions was proposed with the aid of a lattice model and applied to type Ⅰ antifreeze protein（AFPI） solutions.The numerical results for several AFPI solutions show that the Gibbs function of the solution has a minimum at a certain protein concentration,but the protein chemical potential increases with increasing the concentration.The influences of temperature and protein chain length on the AFPI chemical potential were also discussed.The evaluation for the colligative depression of the freezing point confirms that the antifreeze action should be recognized as non-colligative.The theoretical deduction for the concentration dependence of the thermal hysteresis activity coincides qualitatively with the previous experimental and theoretical results.
