Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Isothermal Titration Calorimetry
Description:  ITC measurements were performed with a VP-ITC micro calorimeter (Microcal, LLC/GE Healthcare Bio-Sciences AB, Uppsala, Sweden). In general titrations were performed by titrating the protein (50 μM) to the test compound (5 μM) in 12 μl injections. All binding experiments were carried out at 30° C. In general the test compounds were diluted form DMSO stock solutions into the measurement buffer with a maximum final concentration of 1% DMSO. The measurement buffer was 20 mM HEPES, 135 mM KCl, 1 mM TCEP, 2 mM MgCl2, 15 mM NaH2PO4, pH 7.5. The human PDHK2 (12-407) was produced in E. coli as his-tagged protein and purified by affinity chromatography. The tag was removed by side specific proteolysis. Before titration the protein buffer was changed to the measurement buffer containing the same DMSO concentration as the test compound dilution. ITC data analysis was performed using Origin 7 calorimetry software from the same supplier. For most measurements a binding model of one binding site was assumed. According to the applied mathematical model it is possible to calculate the binding constant (KA), the observed binding enthalpy (ΔHobs) as well as the stoichiometry (N) of the formed complex.
