Determining Enzyme Kinetics via Isothermal Titration Calorimetry

623
Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) has emerged as a powerful tool for determining the thermodynamic properties of chemical
            or physical equilibria such as protein–protein, ligand–receptor, and protein–DNA binding interactions. The utility of ITC
            for determining kinetic information, however, has not been fully recognized. Methods for collecting and analyzing data on
            enzyme kinetics are discussed here. The step-by-step process of converting the raw heat output rate into the kinetic parameters
            of the Michaelis–Menten equation is explicitly stated. The hydrolysis of sucrose by invertase is used to demonstrate the capability
            of the instrument and method.
