Dear All, Apologies for the off-topic post, but I think there might be a number of people subscribed to this list who also use ITC and would find this useful:
I am pleased to announce the immediate availability of the software program NITPIC. You may download it from http://biophysics.swmed.edu/MBR/software.html. What does NITPIC do, you ask? The software is designed to read and integrate thermograms generated by GE, MicroCal, MCS, and TA isothermal titration calorimeters. It calculates the baseline in an unbiased way, integrates the power peaks, generates error estimates for the integrations, and outputs the data for analysis. It interfaces seamlessly with Peter Schuck’s SEDPHAT analysis program, which features a large variety of interaction models. When used with SEDPHAT, NITPIC also outputs data that are compatible with the high-quality graphics renderer GUSSI. We find that NITPIC generally outperforms the manufacturers’ analysis programs, and it removes the tedious step of manual baseline adjustment. The program is documented in a pdf file that accompanies the downloaded executable. It runs only under Windows operating systems; it has been tested under Windows XP, 7, and 8. The algorithms underlying the NITPIC program can be found in Keller et al. (2012), Anal. Chem., Vol. 84, pp. 5066-5073. If you find any bugs, please report them to me: chad.brauti...@utsouthwestern.edu Enjoy, Chad
