pytc: a python package for analysis of Isothermal Titration Calorimetry experiments

Abstract

Here we describe pytc, an open-source Python-package for global fits of thermodynamic models to multiple Isothermal Titration Calorimetry experiments. Key features include simplicity, the ability to implement new thermodynamic models, a robust maximum likelihood fitter, a fast Bayesian Markov-Chain Monte Carlo sampler, rigorous implementation, extensive documentation, and full cross-platform compatibility. pytc can be used as either a programming API or with a GUI. It is available for download at: https://github.com/harmslab/pytc.
