Since the kinetic information is the more relevant thing to look at in drug discovery, a typical question comes to our minds:

Which technique should we choose to get kinetic information?

This question doesn´t have an easy answer because many factors should be taken into account to make this decision, but lately, one technique is rising up: Isothermal titration calorimetry and more specifically, the KinITC method developed by P Duma et al [1].

 

In AFFINImeter we have implemented the KinITC method that is making possible the measurement of binding kinetics, k_on and k_off rate constants, through the analysis of the thermogram (s) obtained from a traditional ITC experiment (s). (more…)

Mestrelab Research and Software 4 Science Developments-AFFINImeter have agreed to enhance the use of advanced analysis of binding isotherms from 2D-NMR titrations. For this reason, all users interested to acquire a Mnova Binding license will benefit from a free annual license of AFFINImeter- NMR.

Mnova Binding is a powerful tool that automatically processes 2D HSQC type of protein-ligand titration spectra, tracks the peak movement and computes the Kd‘s for multiple peaks.

AFFINImeter for Nuclear Magnetic Resonance allows the advanced analysis of binding isotherms from 2D NMR titrations to measure binding constants (K_A). Use it to:

• Simultaneous upload and processing of 2D titration spectra.
• Automated peak tracking of stacked spectra.
• Automated generation of binding curves.
• Easy exporting of binding curves into AFFINImeter-NMR.
