[sci.bio] Biological Phase Changes?

With the weather being 0 to 5 below in our part of the country, I was 
thinking about the phase change that water goes under when it freezes.

I wondered what happened to the various biochemicals in the body during
the normal functioning of the body.  Do some of the chemicals undergo
phase changes as the body moves or does other activities?  Probably
they do under abnormal conditions such as frostbite, but I am curious
about at other times as well.
