Heats of Mixing Using an Isothermal Titration Calorimeter: Associated Thermal Effects
The correct determination of the energy generated or absorbed in the sample cell of an Isothermal Titration Calorimeter (ITC) requires a thorough analysis of the calorimetric signal. This means the identification and quantification of any thermal effect inherent to the working method. In this work, it is carried out a review on several thermal effects, studied by us in previous work, and which ...
متن کاملDNA heats up: energetics of genome ejection from phage revealed by isothermal titration calorimetry.
Most bacteriophages are known to inject their double-stranded DNA into bacteria upon receptor binding in an essentially spontaneous way. This downhill thermodynamic process from the intact virion to the empty viral capsid plus released DNA is made possible by the energy stored during active packaging of the genome into the capsid. Only indirect measurements of this energy have been available un...
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 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...
