Abstract: Chromatography is the most widely used technique for the purification of biopharmaceuticals in the biotech industry. Surprisingly, process development is often still based on empirical studies or experience; recently high-throughput screening stations are employed to minimize development time and to improve screening quality. Still, experimental effort remains high and a more detailed understanding of adsorption mechanisms on a molecular level underlying chromatographic separation could help in the future to select and design chromatography steps in silico. In this study, we focused on the elucidation of protein orientation upon adsorption onto a chromatographic resin. We identified two characteristic binding sites of lysozyme on SP Sepharose Fast Flow and one multipoint interaction of lysozyme with SP Sepharose XL. Increasing ionic strength did not significantly influence the binding, whereas changes in the mobile phase pH led to a re-orientation on SP Sepharose FF. This phenomenon agrees well with theoretical considerations, including a detailed description of the surface charge distribution with changing pH and linear elution experiments, giving an idea why proteins are often retained on ion-exchange materials beyond their isoelectric point.
