The secondary structure and the thermostability of bovine serum albumin (BSA), before adsorption and after homomolecular displacement from silica and polystyrene particles, are studied. by circular dichroism spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. The structural perturbations induced by the hydrophilic silica surface are reversible, i.e. BSA completely regains the native structure and stability after being exchanged. On the other hand, the adsorption on, and subsequent desorption from, polystyrene particles causes irreversible changes in the stability and (secondary) structure of BSA. The exchanged proteins have a higher denaturation temperature and a lower enthalpy of denaturation than native BSA. The alpha-helix content is reduced while the beta-turn fraction is increased in the exchanged molecules. Both effects are more pronounced when the protein is displaced from less crowded sorbent surfaces. The irreversible surface-induced conformational change may be related to some aggregation of BSA molecules after being exposed to a hydrophobic surface. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
