Collecting variable-concentration isothermal titration calorimetry datasets in order to determine binding mechanisms.
Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) is commonly used to determine the thermodynamic parameters associated with the binding of a ligand to a host macromolecule. ITC has some advantages over common spectroscopic approaches for studying host/ligand interactions. For example, the heat released or absorbed when the two components interact is directly measured and does not require any exogenous re...
متن کاملBiological Applications of Isothermal Titration Calorimetry
Most of the biological phenomena are influenced by intermolecular recognition and interaction. Thus, understanding the thermodynamics of biomacromolecule ligand interaction is a very interesting area in biochemistry and biotechnology. One of the most powerful techniques to obtain precise information about the energetics of (bio) molecules binding to other biological macromolecules is isoth...
متن کاملIsothermal titration calorimetry of RNA.
Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) is a fast and robust method to study the physical basis of molecular interactions. A single well-designed experiment can provide complete thermodynamic characterization of a binding reaction, including K(a), DeltaG, DeltaH, DeltaS and reaction stoichiometry (n). Repeating the experiment at different temperatures allows determination of the heat capacity ch...
متن کاملIsothermal titration calorimetry: controlling binding forces in lead optimization.
The completion of the human genome has resulted in the identification of large numbers of novel targets for drug development. Many of these targets belong to protein families with homologous structures and similar active sites. Against these targets, successful drugs must display high affinity and high selectivity, goals that have been difficult to accomplish and that emphasize the need for bet...
متن کاملDirect measurement of protein binding energetics by isothermal titration calorimetry.
Of all the techniques that are currently available to measure binding, isothermal titration calorimetry is the only one capable of measuring not only the magnitude of the binding affinity but also the magnitude of the two thermodynamic terms that define the binding affinity: the enthalpy (AH) and entropy (AS) changes. Recent advances in instrumentation have facilitated the development of experi...
