Using enzymes as catalysts in reactions can reduce the amount of energy needed for the reaction, and reduce toxic byproducts. However, the use of enzymes in industry is limited, because enzymes are not stable and can be expensive. This protocol co

The thermal stability of enzyme activity is readily measured by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). Most protein stability assays currently used measure protein unfolding, but do not provide information about enzymatic activity. ITC enables direct determination of the effect of enzyme modifications on the stability of enzyme activity.
