Abstract
Adsorption of native as well as mono-, di-, and tri-PEGylated lysozyme on Toyopearl PPG-600M, a mildly hydrophobic resin is studied by isothermal titration calorimetry and by independent adsorption equilibrium measurements in sodium phosphate buffer at pH 7.0 and 25 °C. For PEGylation two different PEG sizes are used (5 and 10 kDa) which leads to six different forms of PEGylated lysozyme all of which are systematically studied. Additionally, the adsorption of five pure PEGs is explored. The ammonium sulfate concentration is varied from 600 to 1200 mM. The molar enthalpy of adsorption Δh(p)(ads) is determined from the calorimetric and the adsorption equilibrium data. It is found to be endothermic in all experiments. The comparison of the adsorption of different PEGylated forms shows that the adsorption of PEGylated lysozyme is driven by the adsorption of the PEG chain. The results provide insight into the adsorption mechanisms of polymer-modified proteins on hydrophobic chromatographic resins.
