  1. Titrations were carried out in buffer B at 28 °C with 30 µM protein in the cell and inhibitor (in the syringe) at 10 times the protein concentration. Previous ITC results of MProWT with the corresponding inhibitors are included for ease of comparison14,18,36,47. ΔTm denotes the difference in Tm measured in the presence and absence of inhibitor (Fig. 2C).
