The document discusses the application of isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) as a gold-standard technique for characterizing complex intermolecular interactions, highlighting both its advantages and cautions related to experimental setup and data analysis. It presents various models for binding interactions, including standard and nonstandard models, and analytical tools for interpreting multicomponent systems. The document emphasizes the importance of advanced fitting techniques and species distribution plots in deriving insights from ITC data in the context of biochemical research.
