Analysis case: Evaluation of substrate decomposition rate and inhibitor efficacy by ITC.
This is an introduction to a protein analysis case study by a specialist in analysis. This time, we evaluated the substrate degradation rate and the effects of inhibitors using ITC.
Measurement capabilities offered by TA Instruments ☆ Thermal analysis / glass transition, crystallization, thermogravimetric analysis, curing reactions, expansion rate, thermal conductivity, shrinkage rate, effects of moisture, etc. ☆ Viscoelastic measurement (rheology) / viscoelasticity, modulus of elasticity, viscosity, stress relaxation, creep, master curve, residual strain, molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, etc. ☆ Microcalorimetry / intermolecular interactions, crystallization, amorphousness, aggregation/precipitation, dispersibility, solubility, compatibility, wettability, stability, adsorption, etc. ☆ Fatigue testing / tensile strength, temperature dependence, viscoelasticity, modulus of elasticity, viscosity, stress relaxation, creep, master curve, residual strain, etc.
basic information
At TA Instruments, we handle a wide range of equipment, including "thermal analysis instruments," "viscoelastic measurement devices and rheometers," "microcalorimeters (for the life sciences and medical fields)," and "fatigue testing machines." This time, we will introduce three types of equipment known as "microcalorimeters," which are highly suitable for evaluation in the life sciences, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical fields. ◆ Isothermal Titration Calorimeter (ITC) The isothermal titration calorimeter (ITC) is a device that detects the heat changes associated with titration at a constant temperature, primarily used for analyzing molecular interactions. It measures the minute heat changes that occur when molecules bind to each other, allowing for the determination of binding ratios (n), binding constants (Ka), and changes in enthalpy of binding (ΔH) from the resulting titration curves.

April Online LIVE Seminar! ~Protein Analysis Seminar~
13:00～14:00 Examples of ITC Utilization - Useful Information Beyond Binding Strength - Masayuki Oda, Kyoto Prefectural University The Isothermal Titration Calorimeter (ITC) is a device that detects changes in heat associated with titration at a constant temperature, primarily used for analyzing molecular interactions. It provides information not only about binding strengths such as Ka and Kd of biomacromolecules like proteins, but also about binding ratios and thermodynamic quantities (ΔH, ΔS, etc.). This presentation will introduce how these pieces of information can be useful and applied, based on specific examples. 14:00～14:30 Introduction to Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) for Biomacromolecules Minako Maeda, TA Instruments Application Department

July Online LIVE Seminar! ~Protein Analysis Seminar~
13:00～14:00 Analysis of the interaction between sleep substance-synthesizing enzyme and ligand using isothermal titration calorimetry Shigeru Shimamoto, Lecturer, Department of Life Science, College of Science and Engineering, Kinki University Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) has the significant advantage of detecting molecular interactions in a form that is closer to the state present in vivo, without the need for chemical modifications, immobilization, or detection probes. Furthermore, it is a method that provides nearly complete thermodynamic parameters related to the interactions. Here, I will introduce the analysis of the interaction between lipocalin-type prostaglandin D synthase (L-PGDS), which acts as a sleep substance-synthesizing enzyme in the mammalian brain, and its ligand, prostaglandin (PG), using ITC, and discuss the elucidation of the enzyme reaction mechanism in conjunction with structural information. 14:00～14:30 Introduction to isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) for biomacromolecules Minako Maeda, Applications Department, TA Instruments
