IgorDenat - IgorPro ProceduresThermal and Chemical Denaturation Analysis Software (ver 3.x)
- Igor Pro procedures for analyzing protein unfolding data
- differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), spectroscopic thermal melts, and chemical denaturation (LEM and denaturant binding models)
- Includes 5 selectable models of protein unfolding:
- N <-> U (simple 2-state unfolding model)
- N <-> I <-> U (3-state unfolding)
- D <-> 2U (dimer 2-state unfolding model
- D <-> 2I <-> 2U (3-state dimer unfolding)
- D <-> I <-> 2U (alternate 3-state dimer unfolding)
- 3-state models can be linked termodynamically or treated as independent
- allows for simulation and curve fitting using control panel interface
- facilitates global fitting of multiple data sets

IgorCD - IgorPro ProceduresCircular Dichroism Processing Software
- Igor Pro routines for processing spectra with emphasis on CD spectra, but useful for absorption also
- does it the way I think it should be done, not the manufacturer of the instrument.
- features include: tab delimited Excel-type text file import, data smoothing, baseline subtraction, correct for baseline shifts, operate on a series of spectra automatically, extract melting/titration curves from multidimensional data, convert data to delta epsilon units, multicomponent analysis, etc.

IgorBinding - IgorPro Procedures
Binding Analysis Software
- designed primarily for DNA-protein binding but can also be used for ligand-protein binding
- can be used for both forward and reverse titrations
- used for both spectroscopic titrations and ITC
- 6 different models of McGhee-vonHipple DNA-protein binding: polymer DNA, oligonucleotide, specific & nonspecific competing, specific & flanking nonspecific, polymer DNA with 2 binding modes, same but 2nd mode is cooperative dimer
- also includes single-site binding model and Hill equation
- allows for simulation and curve fitting using control panel interface
