Abstract (englisch):

To apply enzymes in technical processes, a detailed understanding of the molecular
mechanisms is required. Kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of enzyme catalysis are
crucial to plan, model, and implement biocatalytic processes more efficiently. While the kinetic
parameters, Km and kcat, are often accessible by optical methods, the determination of
thermodynamic parameters requires more sophisticated methods. Isothermal titration
calorimetry (ITC) allows the label-free and highly sensitive analysis of kinetic and
thermodynamic parameters of individual steps in the catalytic cycle of an enzyme reaction.
However, since ITC is susceptible to interferences due to denaturation or agglomeration of the
enzymes, the homogeneity of the enzyme sample must always be considered, and this can be
accomplished by means of dynamic light scattering (DLS) analysis. The presented ITCdependent
workflow was used to determine both the kinetic and the thermodynamic data for a
cofactor-dependent enzyme. Using a standardized approach with the implementation of
sample quality control by DLS, we obtained high-quality data suitable for the advanced
