Isothermal titration calorimetry of protein-protein interactions.
The interaction of biologicalmacromolecules, whether protein-DNA, antibody-antigen, hormone-receptor, etc., illustrates the complexity and diversity of molecular recognition. The importance of such interactions in the immune response, signal transduction cascades, and gene expression cannot be overstated. It is of great interest to determine the nature of the forces that stabilize the interacti...
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...
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 کاملPrecise Evaluation of Enzyme Activity using Isothermal Titration Calorimetry
Enzymes, the catalysts of biological systems, are remarkable molecular devices that determine the patterns of chemical transformations. For many decades, a great deal of pure and applied studies have been devoted to enzyme reactions, as the mechanisms underlying the special characteristics of the reactions, such as high specificity and high efficiency, have not only attracted scientific interes...
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...
