isothermal titration calorimetry | ITC
en
Definition biophysical technique that elucidates the thermodynamic profile (ΔH, ΔS, ΔG, Ka, and stoichiometry) of binding and dissociation reactions in solution Reference "COM-Terminology Coordination, based on: William R. Archer and Michael D. Schulz. 'Isothermal titration calorimetry: practical approaches and current applications in soft matter' (24.3.2021). Soft Matter, Issue 38, 2020"
Comment While ITC has primarily been used to investigate the thermodynamics of interactions between biological macromolecules and small molecules, it has become increasingly common for measuring binding interactions between synthetic polymers and small molecules, ions, or nanoparticles.
