Abstract

An enormous amount of detailed information can be obtained concerning macromolecules in aqueous solution using data obtained from differential scanning and titration microcalorimetry. This claim is supported by reference to examples taken from recent work concerned with micelles (e.g. CTAB), vesicles (e.g. DOAB and DDP) and enzymes (e.g. CAT and DNA gyrase).

Zusammenfassung

Durch Einsatz von Angaben aus DS- und Titrationsmikrokalorimetrie kann ein erheblicher Umfang an Informationen über Makromoleküle in wäßrigen Lösungen erhalten werden. Diese Behauptung wird durch Bezugnahme auf Beispiele aus jüngsten Arbeiten über Mizellen, Bläschen und Enzyme bestätigt.
