Abstract

Growing Popularity of Ultrasensitive Microcalorimetry

Eva Judy and Nand Kishore

Non covalent interactions in biological macromolecules mediate almost all the chemical processes in living systems. Developments in microcalorimetry has enabled a quantitative understanding of such interactions and contributed significantly to biotechnology, medicine and novel drug design. This report addresses advancement and use of ultrasensitive microcalorimetry in connecting bioenergetics with possible applications in chemical and biological processes.
