Interactions of recombinant human growth hormone and lysozyme with solid surfaces are studied using total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) and monitoring the protein's intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence. The intensity, spectra, quenching, and polarization of the fluorescence emitted by the adsorbed proteins are monitored and related to adsorption kinetics, protein conformation, and fluorophore rotational mobility. To study the influence of electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions on the adsorption process, three sorbent surfaces are used which differ in charge and hydrophobicity. The chemical surface groups are silanol, methyl, and quaternary amine. Results indicate that adsorption of hGH is dominated by hydrophobic interactions. Lysozyme adsoption is strongly affected by the ionic strength. This effect is probably caused by an ionic strength dependent conformational state in solution which, in turn, influences the affinity for adsorption. Both proteins are more strongly bound to hydrophobic surfaces and this strong interaction is accompanied by a less compact conformation. Furthermore, it was seen that regardless of the characteristics of the sorbent surface, the rotational mobility of both proteins' tryptophans is largely reduced upon adsorption.
