Tossup

An equation that uses a form of this technique to determine kinetic parameters contains the constant intercept term [read slowly] “log of the pre-exponential factor times R over activation energy” and is named for Homer Kissinger. A form of this technique used to analyze protein solutions involves applying perturbations of 5 atmospheres. It’s not chromatography, but noise in this technique can be suppressed using a nitrogen and argon-based “purge” gas. The results of a form of this technique are characterized by a “c-value” proportional to binding affinity. Glass transitions can be quantified using a form of this technique that measures the difference in heating rate between two pans called its “differential scanning” type.
