Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) is a universal technique that directly measures the heat absorbed or released in a process. ITC is typically used to determine thermodynamic parameters of association of molecules without the need to label them. However, ITC is still rarely applied to study chemical reactions catalyzed by enzymes. In addition, these few studies of enzyme kinetic measurements that have been performed were in diluted solutions. Yet, to estimate realistic kinetic parameters, we have to account for the fact that enzymatic reactions in cells occur in a crowded environment because cells contain 200–400 g/L of macromolecular crowders such as proteins, ribosomes and lipids. Thus we expanded the ITC application for solutions mimicking the cellular environment by adding various macromolecular crowders. We investigated how these crowders affect the kinetics of trypsin-catalyzed reactions and determined the Michaelis-Menten parameters for hydrolysis of two trypsin substrates: Nα-benzoyl-L-arginine ethyl ester (BAEE) and Nα-benzoyl-DL-arginine β-naphthylamide (BANA). Since ITC enables investigations of complex and turbid solutions with label-free reagents, it seems a perfect technique for kinetic analyses in crowded solutions. ITC also offers the opportunity to control enzyme-crowder and substrate-crowder interactions.
