the most recent (or it might be upcoming, i haven't seen the published
version yet) version of Methods in Enzymology has a section on calorimetry
which was based almost entirely on experiments in our lab concerning
comparisons of wild-type and temperature sensitive mutant S. cerevisiae
N-Myristoyltransferase.

the section is by Rajiv Bhatnagar and Jeff Gordon, and i think Jeff (our
PI) was one of the editors.

sorry this isn't more specific but hopefully it will give you a place to
start.
