Overview

Arthur L. DeVries is affiliated with the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the United States. Their research primarily centers on Earth and Planetary Sciences and Environmental Science, with a considerable focus on Ecology and Atmospheric Science as subfields. DeVries's work investigates physiological and biochemical adaptations and nanoparticle nucleation surface interactions, among other interdisciplinary topics.

The scientist's research repertoire includes 10 publications on physiological and biochemical adaptations and 6 focused on nanoparticle nucleation surface interactions. Additional areas of study encompass insect and arachnid ecology and behavior, atmospheric chemistry and aerosols, muscle metabolism and nutrition, the effects of spaceflight on biology, and ocean acidification effects and responses.

Frequent collaborators in their research include Konrad Meister, Mischa Bonn, Ralph Schwidetzky, Janine Fröhlich-Nowoisky, and Yuling Sun. Arthur L. DeVries has contributed to several scientific journals and venues such as Biomacromolecules, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, and Methods in molecular biology.

  • Ice Recrystallization Inhibition Is Insufficient to Explain Cryopreservation Abilities of Antifreeze Proteins, 2022, Biomacromolecules
  • Inhibition of Bacterial Ice Nucleators Is Not an Intrinsic Property of Antifreeze Proteins, 2020, The Journal of Physical Chemistry B
  • Functional aggregation of cell-free proteins enables fungal ice nucleation, 2023, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
  • Disaccharide Residues are Required for Native Antifreeze Glycoprotein Activity, 2021, Biomacromolecules
  • Identifying Ice-Binding Proteins in Nature, 2023, Methods in molecular biology

Their research addresses complex biological processes related to antifreeze proteins, ice nucleation, and molecular interactions critical to adaptation in cold environments. These papers reflect a consistent engagement with biochemical mechanisms and protein functions within ecological and environmental contexts.
