The purpose of this white paper is to compare four techniques utilized to quantify biomolecular interactions. It provides a brief introduction to each technique, followed by tables that provide a direct comparison. The four techniques compared in this white paper are Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR), Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC), Microscale Thermophoresis (MST), and Biolayer Interferom...

In this contribution we show that the newly discovered 6 + 6 biotin-formaldehyde macrocycle Biotin[6]uril binds a variety of anionic guest molecules in water. We discuss how and why the anions are bound based on data obtained using NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), computational calculations and single crystal X-ray crystallography.

The study of 1:1 cyclodextrin inclusion compounds by isothermal titration calorimetry was explored in a theoretical and experimental point of view to compare the efficiency of conventional and non-conventional experiments. All direct and competitive protocols were described and evaluated in terms of accuracy on both binding constant and inclusion enthalpy. Significant improvement in the calorim...

We have evaluated the strength of aromatic donor-acceptor interactions between dialkyl naphthalenediimide and dialkoxynaphthalene in non-polar environments. (1)H NMR, UV-vis spectroscopy and isothermal titration calorimetry were used to characterise this interaction. We concluded that the strength of donor-acceptor interactions in heptane is sufficient to drive supramolecular assemblies in this...

Dehydrocholic acid was identified as a selective streptavidin binder from a PNA-tagged library. Isothermal calorimetry titration measurements showed this interaction to be entropically driven. Peptides tagged with dehydrocholic acid can be captured on a streptavidin resin and released under thermal conditions.

A series of benzimidazo[1,2-c][1,2,3]thiadiazole-7-sulfonamides were synthesized and their binding to two carbonic anhydrase isozymes measured by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). Human carbonic anhydrase I (hCAI) and bovine carbonic anhydrase II (bCAII) bound the inhibitors with observed association constants in the range from 1.1 x 10(6) to 2.6 x 10(7) M(-1).
