Isothermal Titration Calorimetry: Standard model vs. Nonstandard models
ITC
Gold-standard for characterizing intermolecular interactions
• Simple experimental set-up
• Widespread use in BioLabs
• Invaluable information on interactions
But… many words of caution concerning:
• experimental set-up
• data analysis
• information accessible
ITC
Provides invaluable information:
Interaction? YES/NO

Isothermal Titration Calorimetry: Standard model vs. Nonstandard models
ITC´s “Black legend”:
• Prone to artifacts
• Difficult technique (data analysis)
• Time consuming
• Sample consuming
• Inadequate for extreme affinity
