In rational drug design, it is important to determine accurately and with high precision the binding constant (the affinity or the change in Gibbs energy, G), the change in enthalpy (H), and the entropy change upon small molecule drug binding to a disease-related target protein. These thermodynamic parameters of the protein-ligand association reaction are usually determined by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). Here, the repeatability, precision, and accuracy of the measurement of the affinity and the change in enthalpy upon acetazolamide (AZM) interaction with human carbonic anhydrase II (CA II) are discussed based on the measurements using several ITC instruments. The AZM-CA II reaction was performed at decreasing protein-ligand concentrations until the determination of G and H was not possible, indicating a lower limit for accuracy. To obtain the confidence intervals (CI) of the G and H of AZM binding to CA II, the binding reaction was repeated numerous times at the optimal concentration of 10 mu M and 25 degrees C temperature. The CI (at a confidence level =0.95) for H =-51.2 +/- 1.0kJ/mol and G=-45.4 +/- 0.5kJ/mol was determined by averaging the results of multiple repeats.
