Conformational changes of antibodies upon adsorption onto hydrophobic interaction chromatography surfaces

Conformational changes of globular proteins upon adsorption on a hydrophobic surface.

This paper presents a study of protein adsorption and denaturation using coarse-grained Monte Carlo simulations with simulated annealing. Intermolecular interactions are modeled using the Miyazawa-Jernigan (MJ) knowledge-based potential for an implicit solvent. Three different hydrophobicity scales are tested for adsorption of fibronectin on a hydrophobic surface. The hydrophobic scale BULDG wa...

Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography.

Most proteins and large polypeptides have hydrophobic regions at their surface. These hydrophobic "patches" are due to the presence of the side chains of hydrophobic or nonpolar amino acids such as phenylalanine, tryptophan, alanine, and methionine. These surface hydrophobic regions are interspersed between more hydrophilic or polar regions and the number, size, and distribution of them is a sp...

A model description of the adsorption of surfactant-rich stickies onto hydrophobic and hydrophilic mineral surfaces

“Stickies” are tacky species, present in recycled paper and coated broke, derived from coating formulations, adhesives etc. They impact negatively on paper quality and cause web runnability problems by deposit build-up. To sustain recycling, stickies are controlled by adsorbing them onto minerals added to the recycled stock. We report isotherms for a fatty acid ester defoamer and an acrylic aci...
