Changes in the Secondary Structure of Adsorbed IgG and F(ab‘)2 Studied by FTIR Spectroscopy

Buijs, Jos, Norde, Willem, Lichtenbelt, James W. Th.·1996·Langmuir

Abstract

The purpose of the present study is to find a quantitative relationship between the adsorption behavior and the secondary structure of proteins. The adsorption of two monoclonal IgGs which differ in their isoelectric point and their corresponding F(ab‘) 2 fragments is followed in time. The proteins are adsorbed on hydrophilic silica and on hydrophobic methylated surfaces at different values of pH and ionic strength. The adsorption behavior is studied by measuring FTIR spectra of the adsorbed proteins. The adsorbed amount is related to the integrated area of the amide II region of the spectrum. The secondary structure of the adsorbed proteins is evaluated by analyzing the second derivatives of the amide I region. Quantitative information on the secondary structure is obtained by applying a fitting procedure which assumes the absorption bands for the different structural components to be Lorentzian shaped. The results show that for IgG the adsorbed amounts decrease with an increasing net charge density on the protein. This decrease is correlated to a reduction in the β-sheet content which suggests that IgG molecules adsorb in a less compact conformation. The adsorption-induced reduction in the β-sheet content is larger at hydrophobic methylated surfaces than at hydrophilic silica surfaces. The dependence of the amount of structural elements on the pH diminishes at higher ionic strength. F(ab‘) 2 fragments contain a higher fraction of β-sheet content than whole IgG molecules, and these fractions are less strongly influenced by the adsorption conditions. Therefore, it can be concluded that the F(ab‘) 2 fragments have a higher structural stability toward adsorption than whole IgG molecules.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
