Influence of mixed electrolytes and ph on adsorption of bovine serum albumin in hydrophobic interaction chromatography
2017
Hackemann, Eva | Hasse, Hans
Using salt mixtures instead of single salts can be beneficial for hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC). The effect of electrolytes on the adsorption of proteins, however, depends on the pH. Little is known on that dependence for mixed electrolytes. Therefore, the effect of the pH on protein adsorption from aqueous solutions containing mixed salts is systematically studied in the present work for a model system: the adsorption of bovine serum albumin (BSA) on the mildly hydrophobic resin Toyopearl PPG-600M. The pH is adjusted to 4.0, 4.7 or 7.0 using 25mM sodium phosphate or sodium citrate buffer. Binary and ternary salt mixtures of sodium chloride, ammonium chloride, sodium sulfate and ammonium sulfate as well as the pure salts are used at overall ionic strengths between 1500 and 4200mM. The temperature is always 25°C. The influence of the mixed electrolytes on the adsorption behavior of BSA changes completely with varying pH. Positive as well as negative cooperative effects of the mixed electrolytes are observed. The results are analyzed using a mathematical model which was recently introduced by our group. In that model the influence of the electrolytes is described by a Taylor series expansion in the individual ion molarities. After suitable parametrization using a subset of the data determined in the present work, the model successfully predicts the influence of mixed electrolytes on the protein adsorption. Furthermore, results for BSA from the present study are compared to literature data for lysozyme, which are available for the same adsorbent, temperature and salts. By calculating the ratio of the loading of the adsorbent for both proteins particularly favorable separation conditions can be selected. Hence, a model-based optimization of solvents for protein separation is possible.
