[14] Microcalorimetry for biological chemistry: Experimental design, data analysis, and interpretation

RL Biltonen, N Langerman - Methods in enzymology, 1979 - Elsevier
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the design of specific types of calorimetric
experiments. The basic calorimetric experiment consists of mixing two solutions that contain
reactive components. The success of a calorimetric experiment depends upon a number of
factors, but perhaps the most commonly ignored is the achievement of thermal equilibrium of
the solutions prior to mixing. It is important to realize that during the calorimetric experiment
temperature changes on the order of l0–4 degree or less are being measured. In the batch …
