N2 - Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) is a method to determine thermodynamic values (ΔG, ΔH, and ΔS) for ligand-receptor binding in biological and abiological systems. It is challenging to directly determine subnanomolar dissociation constants using a standard incremental injection approach ITC (IIA-ITC) measurement. We recently demonstrated a continuous injection approach ITC (CIA-ITC) [ J. Phys. Chem. B 2021, 125, 8075-8087]enables the estimation of thermodynamic parameters in situ. In this work, we demonstrate a label-free and surface modification-free CIA-ITC to determine the complete binding thermodynamics of a ligand with a subnanomolar dissociation constant KD. The KD for desthiobiotin (DTB)-avidin binding was determined to be 6.5 pM with respect to the ligand by CIA-ITC, a quantity unsuccessfully measured with IIA-ITC and surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy (SPR). This value compares well with literature-reported spectroscopic determination of DTB-avidin binding. Criteria with respect to the concentration of the ligand and receptor and flow rate for obtaining true equilibrium dissociation constants without displacement titration are presented.
