Introduction
Two fundamental chromatographic systems employing hydrophobic media have been described: (a) reversedphase and (b) hydrophobic interaction chromatography. In hydrophobic interaction chromatography the solutes (proteins) are adsorbed and separated on a stationary solid phase (i.e. a two-dimensional system) carrying immobilized hydrophobic groups. In reversed-phase chromatography the solutes are absorbed and separated (partitioned) in the apolar stationary liquid phase (i.e. a three-dimensional system) and not on the solid phase. Because of the very dierent scope and methodological details, reversed-phase chromatography will not be treated here. The same holds for hydrophobic forms of liquid liquid partition chromatography. A dierentiation will also not be made between classical chromatographic systems and HPLC (high-pressure or high-performance liquid chromatography) since in essence only the low bead size and monodispersity, not the hydrophobic surface, lead to the higher performance (e.g. throughput and resolution) in the latter method. Noncovalent interactions of the hydrophobic type have been described as the unusually strong attraction between nonpolar molecules and surfaces in water (Israelachvili, 1985). Hydrophobic interactions are driven by the extrusion of a monomolecular layer of ordered water molecules covering two adjacent hydrophobic surfaces into lessordered bulk water with a concomitant increase in entropy. Under the condition of DH ! T DS the Gibbs free energy is negative ( 2 DG % T DS) thus constituting an entropydriven reaction. This entropy-driven attraction between nonpolar groups in water is the basis for hydrophobic interaction chromatography (for review see Jennissen, 2000). In 1972 the group of Yon and the group of Shaltiel independently reported the chromatographic separation of proteins by way of hydrophobic interactions (Er-el et al., 1972; Yon, 1972). In both cases the hydrophobic matrix consisted of agarose (Sepharose 4B, Pharmacia) to which aminoalkane derivatives had been coupled by the CNBr
(cyanogen bromide) method (for reviews see Jennissen, 1995; Shaltiel, 1984; Yon, 1977). The surprising result in Shaltiels experiments (Er-el et al., 1972) was that a normal hydrophilic enzyme, phosphorylase b, could be puried on a C4-hydrocarbon-coated agarose to near homogeneity in one step, implicitly questioning the general doctrine of the time that all hydrophobic amino acids are buried in the interior of proteins. Phosphorylase was adsorbed at low ionic strength on immobilized butyl residues that had no resemblance to the substrates of the enzyme (thus excluding a bioanity type of adsorption) and was eluted by a deforming buer, which led to a limited, reversible unfolding of the enzyme. From this work it was generally concluded that here was a novel method applicable not only to hydrophobic or lipophilic but also to hydrophilic and possibly to all proteins. The name hydrophobic chromatography coined by Shaltiel therefore soon came to widespread use. However, it remained a problem that the positive charges, introduced into the matrix by a side reaction in the CNBr procedure (for review see Jennissen, 1995), into the hydrophobic gels could be inuencing the chromatographic results on hydrocarbon-coated agaroses. In a later paper, Shaltiels group showed conclusively (Halperin et al., 1981) that under their conditions the inuence of charges in his hydrocarbon-coated agaroses had been small to negligible. The charge problem was nally claried by Wilcheks group (Kohn and Wilchek, 1981), who found that, depending on the conditions (i.e. pH), pure charged isourea gels, pure uncharged imidocarbonate/carbamate gels or mixed ionichydrophobic gels could all be obtained by the CNBr procedure. In addition, various other groups (Hjerten, 1973; Hofstee and Otillio, 1978; Jennissen, 1976a) also showed that neutral salts eectively quenched the charges introduced by the CNBr method, allowing the purication of proteins by hydrophobic interaction criteria. Nevertheless, it became clear in the coming years that uncharged hydrophobic gels would be advantageous to CNBr-type gels. The rst uncharged hydrophobic gels were synthesized in 1973 by Poraths group (Porath et al., 1973), who reacted

benzyl chloride with agarose at high temperatures. The synthesis of a graded homologous series of hydrocarboncoated agaroses was, however, not possible by this method. In addition, Porath demonstrated the inverse salt behaviour of proteins adsorbed on such gels. In contrast to ion exchangers, proteins were applied to these gels at high salt concentrations and eluted by decreasing the ionic strength (negative or inverse salt gradients). Interestingly, the protein cytochrome c was adsorbed when 13 mol L 2 1 NaCl was included in the buer, a salt which in itself had very little salting-out potential. In the same year Hjerten (Hjerten, 1973) showed that high salt concentrations also enhanced the binding of proteins to hydrophobic gels synthesized by the CNBr procedure, thus demonstrating that Shaltiel-type gels had similar properties to the Porathtype gels (see also Jennissen, 1976a). Hjerten also suggested the term hydrophobic interaction chromatography, which is popular today (Hjerten, 1973). Finally in 1974 Hjerten (Hjerten et al., 1974) described the synthesis of uncharged hydrophobic alkyl agarose gels via the glycidyl ether method and the preparation of uncharged homologous series of hydrocarbon-coated gels. For other methods of synthesizing homologous series, see Jennissen (2000). In conclusion, although there is no doubt that fully uncharged hydrophobic gels are superior to the CNBrprepared gels, by virtue of displaying a practically pure type of noncovalent, i.e. hydrophobic, interaction, it appears that all groups involved in the discovery and development of hydrophobic (interaction) chromatography observed the binding and fractionation of proteins by predominantly hydrophobic interactions. Concerning the nomenclature, both terms hydrophobic chromatography and hydrophobic interaction chromatography can be used synonymously, the shorter term hydrophobic chromatography being no more a misnomer than anity chromatography.
Pharmacia) contains $ 5 106 beads (Jennissen and Heilmeyer, 1975) and $ 30 mg of dry polysaccharide (Jennissen, 1976b) per mL of packed gel. The agarose beads contain pores for which a pore radius of $ 8090 nm has been calculated (Jennissen and Botzet, 1979; Demiroglou et al., 1989). For the large protein molecule phosphorylase b (197 kDa) the specic surface area of agarose has been calculated as 89 m2 per mL of packed gel (Jennissen, 1981). Agarose can be maximally substituted with alkyl residues to $ 50100 mmol per mL of packed gel. However, under these conditions the gel usually shrinks up to 50% (Demiroglou and Jennissen, 1990). Optimal degrees of substitution without gel contraction lie in the range 130 mmol per mL packed gel. Present data strongly indicate that substitution procedures involving an initial activation step followed by a coupling step, as in the CNBr procedure, lead to a statistically uniform distribution of the immobilized alkyl residues on the gel (Amsterdam et al., 1974). In conclusion, a coupling procedure (see Hermanson et al. (1992) for the alkyl groups should be chosen that is simple, shows a statistical distribution, does not introduce charges, and shows no leakage of residues (see Jennissen, 1979, 2000).

Figure 1 Example of the variation of the chain-length parameter in an uncharged homologous series of alkyl agaroses according to the concept of Shaltiel. For an optimal series it is understood that the surface concentration of the immobilized residues is constant, that no charges are introduced and that leakage is low. The uncharged series of the above type is obtained by employing the carbonyl diimidazole (CDI) method for coupling of alkyl amines (see Jennissen and Demiroglou, 1992; Jennissen, 2000).
sigmoidal function of the surface concentration of immobilized alkyl residues (Figure 3). In this case the strength of binding increased from retardation (interaction of few residues with protein) to very tight binding (interaction of many residues with protein) as the surface concentration of hydrophobic groups is increased. The sigmoidal curves are shifted to the left as the chain length is increased. An important nding was that a threshold value of the alkyl surface concentration, a critical hydrophobicity, had to be reached before a protein adsorbed (Jennissen and Heilmeyer, 1975). Sigmoidal adsorption curves and critical hydrophobicities can be obtained at low and at high salt concentrations (Jennissen, 1978; Jennissen and Demiroglou, 1992; Jennissen, 2000). Cooperativity and hysteresis on hydrophobic gels
cooperativity of protein adsorption (Jennissen, 1976b). It became clear that the sigmoidicity and the critical hydrophobicity were due to the multivalence of the interaction (i.e. the necessity for a simultaneous interaction of more than one alkyl residue with the protein moiety). At high salt concentrations, protein binding displayed a positive temperature coecient (Jennissen, 1976b, 1978, Jennissen and Botzet, 1979) in agreement with hydrophobic interactions. A mathematical model of cooperative protein binding to an immobilized alkyl residue lattice was also developed (Jennissen, 1976b, 1981), allowing an

Figure 2 Example for the variation of the surface-concentration parameter of immobilized alkyl residues of a fixed chain length according to the concept of Jennissen. For an optimal series it is understood that the chain length of the immobilized residues is constant, that no charges are introduced and that leakage is low. The surface concentration shown here as a one-dimensional array of residues increases from (a) to (c). It is easily visualized that the number of alkyl residues capable of interacting with the protein (i.e. the valence) and thus the respective affinity of binding increases as the surface concentration of alkyl residues and concomitantly the hydrophobicity is enhanced. For further details see legend to Figure 1.

estimation of the minimum number of alkyl residues interacting with the protein. An important consequence of cooperative multivalent protein binding on alkyl-substituted surfaces was protein adsorption hysteresis (Jennissen, 1978, 1985; Jennissen and Botzet, 1979). Protein adsorption hysteresis implies that the adsorption isotherm is not retraced by the desorption isotherm, owing to an increase in binding anity after the protein is adsorbed. The increase in binding anity can be attributed to an increase in the number of interactions (multivalence), resulting from a reorientation of the protein on the surface or from a conformational change in which buried hydrophobic contact sites are exposed due to the surface binding strain on the adsorbed protein. Adsorption hysteresis provided evidence for the concept that protein adsorption to multivalent surfaces in general is thermodynamically irreversible (DiS 4 0) and that a true equilibrium is not reached (Jennissen, 1985). Thermodynamic irreversibility (DiS 4 0) should not be confused with the so-called irreversibility of binding in high-anity systems, where simply a dissociation cannot be detected for technical reasons. Another conclusion from this concept is that protein adsorption in hysteretic systems may be not thermodynamically but kinetically controlled (Jennissen, 1988). Thus adsorption hysteresis has a strong inuence on hydrophobic interaction chromatography by leading to nonlinearity and skewed elution peaks in zonal chromatography (Jennissen, 1981). Hysteresis can be reduced by decreasing the surface concentration of immobilized alkyl residues (Jennissen and Botzet, 1979; Jennissen, 1981, 1985).
gradient of MgCl2 as shown by Raymond et al. (1981). Raibaud reported that the concentration of salts necessary for the inhibition of b-galactosidase adsorption on a Seph C3-column also showed an inverse relationship to the salting-in power of the anions employed (Raibaud et al., 1975). Finally Pahlman showed that the salting-out power of anions, for the adsorption of human serum albumin on uncharged Seph-C5, also followed the order of the Hofmeister series of salts (Pahlman et al., 1977). An example for such a salting-out type of chromato-graphy (Jennissen, 1976a) is shown in Figure 4. All of these experiments clearly indicate that the action of the ions is due not to a pure electrostatic but rather to lyotropic eects (for review see Jennissen, 2000).

shown for homologous alkyl agarose series of the uncharged (Hjerten et al., 1974; Rosengren et al., 1975) and the charge-containing types (Hjerten, 1973). The optimization strategy, which was also utilized by a number of commercial rms, is illustrated in Table 2. In this case the homologous series is tested at high ionic strength. Again the main problem of the procedure was that often the proteins cannot be eluted in the native form by the inverse salt gradient. This procedure or variants of it are still the method of choice for most groups today. However, as illustrated by the paper of Oscarsson et al. (1995), the number of failures is probably very high.

charge-free immobilized residues should be restricted to alkane derivatives, to ensure a purity of hydrophobic interactions. As salt, NaCl centrally located in the Hofmeister series appears to be ideal in simplifying the salt selection procedure. The critical hydrophobicity method involves three basic steps: (i) selection of an appropriate alkyl chain length; (ii) determination of the critical surface concentration of alkyl residues (critical hydrophobicity); (iii) determination of the minimal salt concentration (NaCl) necessary for a complete adsorption of the protein. The three parameters can be determined for a certain protein by a form of quantitative hydrophobic interaction chromatography (for review see Jennissen, 2000) in which primarily the high-anity adsorption sites are evaluated. Selection of the appropriate alkyl chain length In the rst step, an experimental setup (e.g. test runs on Seph-C4 Seph-C6) similar to the homologous series method of Shaltiel is employed to gain information on the general hydrophobic binding properties of the protein and columns. However it is essential to quantify the immobilized surface concentration of alkyl groups. The surface concentration is set to $ 20 mmol per mL of packed gel. In general a constant amount of protein ( $ 0.5 mg per mL of packed gel, which can be 100% adsorbed on the column of highest hydrophobicity) is applied at low or physiological salt concentration (0.15 mol L 2 1 NaCl) to each column (12 mL packed gel). One then determines the gel in the homologous series that adsorbs $ 50% of the applied protein. In the case of the example below, $ 50%
of the applied brinogen was adsorbed on an uncharged Seph-C5 gel containing 22 mmol per mL of packed gel, so that Seph-C5 was chosen for the following concentration series. Determination of the critical hydrophobicity As previously dened, the critical hydrophobicity is that degree of substitution at which adsorption of a protein begins (Jennissen and Heilmeyer, 1975). As shown in Figure 5, a strongly sigmoidal adsorption curve of brinogen is obtained on the concentration series of uncharged Seph-C5 gels at a physiological NaCl concentration. The aim is to get as close as possible to the critical hydrophobicity point with a minimum of adsorbed protein. Since there was no measurable adsorption of brinogen at 12 mmol per mL of packed gel and only $ 2% was adsorbed at 13.6 mmol per mL of packed gel (critical hydrophobicity), the ideal juxtacritical hydrophobicity range for brinogen was taken as 1214 mmol per mL of packed gel (Figure 5). Determination of the minimal salt concentration (NaCl) necessary for adsorption In subsequent experiments with NaCl, the nonadsorbing critical hydrophobicity gel (13.6 mmol per mL of packed gel) could be changed to a gel strongly adsorbing brinogen by adding 1.5 mol L 2 1 NaCl to the adsorbing buer (Figure 6). The salt concentration necessary for halfmaximal adsorption of brinogen was $ 0.75 mol L 2 1 NaCl (not shown). Since no (i.e. only 2%) brinogen was adsorbed to this pentyl-Sepharose at low ionic strength

Chain-length parameter: Selection of appropriate alkyl chain length from homologous series experiments ( $ 20 mmol per mL of packed gel; protein sample: 0.51 mg per mL of packed gel), i.e. the gel that adsorbs $ 50% of the applied protein at low salt concentration 2. Surface concentration parameter: Determination of critical hydrophobicity for the selected chain length from a surface concentration series 3. Salt parameter: Determination of the optimum high salt concentration (15 mol L 2 1 NaCl) for binding the protein (0.5 1.0 mg per mL of packed gel) on the critical hydrophobicity support 4. Chromatography: Adsorption of protein on critical hydrophobicity support at specied high salt concentration (step 3) and elution by inverse salt gradient

Hydrophobic interaction chromatography is one of the very basic and key separation methods in classical and the now emerging proteome biochemistry. Present chromatographic techniques on commercially available gels are associated with a high number of failures. On this background it appears that the critical-hydrophobicity method for the optimization of hydrophobic supports poses a comprehensive and rational approach to the successful purication of proteins.

(0.15 mol L 2 1 NaCl), a complete recovery of brinogen adsorbed at high ionic strength (1.5 mol L 2 1 NaCl) was now possible by decreasing the salt concentration alone. Thus the critical hydrophobicity gel together with NaCl constituted a fully reversible hydrophobic adsorption and purication system for brinogen. One-step purification of native fibrinogen from human blood plasma Employing Seph-C5 of critical hydrophobicity equilibrated with 1.5 mol L 2 1 NaCl it was possible to purify brinogen from human plasma in a single step (Figure 6). The procedure was so robust that brinogen could be puried from human blood plasma directly (without dialysis) in spite of a temporary decrease in NaCl concentration (fractions 59) during the run. After extensive washing with 1.5 mol L 2 1 NaCl, $ 20-fold puried pure brinogen (clottability 9399%, Figure 6) was eluted by a negative step gradient from 1.5 to 0.15 mol L 2 1 NaCl (see Jennissen, 2000). The total yield was 25% owing to some loss in the run-through, to errors of the clottability test and possibly to the presence of

of proteins by this method depends on the optimization of three basic parameters: (i) the chain-length parameter, (ii) the surface-concentration parameter and (iii) the salt parameter. The only drawback is that the necessary gel kits are not commercially available so that the application of this method necessitates experience in the synthesis of alkyl agaroses and the quantication of immobilized alkyl residues.
