Abstract
The influence of the resin structure, on the competitive binding and separation of a two-component protein mixture with anion exchange resins is evaluated using conalbumin and green fluorescent protein as a model system. Two macroporous resins, one with large open pores and one with smaller pores, are compared to a resin with grafted polymers. Investigations include measurements of single and two-component isotherms, batch uptake kinetics and two-component column breakthrough. On both macroporous resins, the weaker binding protein, conalbumin, is displaced by the stronger binding green fluorescent protein. For the large pore resin, this results in a pronounced overshoot and efficient separation by frontal chromatography. The polymer-grafted resin exhibits superior capacity and kinetics for one-component adsorption, but is unable to achieve separation due to strongly hindered counter-diffusion. Intermediate separation efficiency is obtained with the smaller pore resin. Confocal laser scanning microscopy provides a mechanistic explanation of the underlying intra-particle diffusional phenomena revealing whether unhindered counter-diffusion of the displaced protein can occur or not. This study demonstrates that the resin's intra-particle structure and its effects on diffusional transport are crucial for an efficient separation process. The novelty of this work lies in its comprehensive nature which includes examples of the three most commonly used resin structures: a small pore agarose matrix, a large-pore polymeric matrix, and a polymer grafted resin. Comparison of the protein adsorption properties of these materials provides valuable clues about advantages and disadvantages of each for anion exchange chromatography applications.

Abstract
Chromatography is the workhorse of biopharmaceutical downstream processing because it can selectively enrich a target product while removing impurities from complex feed streams. This is achieved by exploiting differences in molecular properties, such as size, charge and hydrophobicity (alone or in different combinations). Accordingly, many parameters must be tested during process development in order to maximize product purity and recovery, including resin and ligand types, conductivity, pH, gradient profiles, and the sequence of separation operations. The number of possible experimental conditions quickly becomes unmanageable. Although the range of suitable conditions can be narrowed based on experience, the time and cost of the work remain high even when using high-throughput laboratory automation. In contrast, chromatography modeling using inexpensive, parallelized computer hardware can provide expert knowledge, predicting conditions that achieve high purity and efficient recovery. The prediction of suitable conditions in silico reduces the number of empirical tests required and provides in-depth process understanding, which is recommended by regulatory authorities. In this article, we discuss the benefits and specific challenges of chromatography modeling. We describe the experimental characterization of chromatography devices and settings prior to modeling, such as the determination of column porosity. We also consider the challenges that must be overcome when models are set up and calibrated, including the cross-validation and verification of data-driven and hybrid (combined data-driven and mechanistic) models. This review will therefore support researchers intending to establish a chromatography modeling workflow in their laboratory.

Abstract
Elucidation of intraparticle mass transfer mechanisms in protein chromatography is essential for process design. This study investigates the differences of adsorption and diffusion parameters of basic human fibroblast factor 2 (hFGF2) in a simple (purified) and a complex (clarified homogenate) feed solution on the grafted agarose-based strong cation exchanger Capto S. Microscopic investigations using confocal laser scanning microscopy revealed slower intraparticle diffusion of hFGF2 in the clarified homogenate compared to purified hFGF2. Diffusive adsorption fronts indicated a strong contribution of solid diffusion to the overall mass transfer flux. Protein adsorption methods such as batch uptake and shallow bed as well as breakthrough curve experiments confirmed a 40-fold reduction of the mass transfer flux for hFGF2 in the homogenate compared to pure hFGF2. The slower mass transfer was induced by components of the clarified homogenate. Essentially, the increased dynamic viscosity caused by a higher concentration of dsDNA and membrane lipids in the clarified homogenate contributed to this decrease in mass transfer. Moreover, binding capacity for hFGF2 was much lower in the clarified homogenate and substantially decreased the adsorbed phase driving force for mass transfer.

Characterization of a macroporous epoxy-polymer based resin for the ion-exchange chromatography of therapeutic proteins. J Chromatogr A 2021; 1656:462503.

Abstract
This study investigated the adsorption capacity and mass transfer properties of a novel macroporous epoxy-polymer-based anion-exchanger, MPR Q, for the efficient separation of therapeutic proteins. MPR Q resin was prepared by phase separation based on spinodal decomposition followed by dextran grafting and ligand conjugation. Under static conditions, MPR Q exhibited a binding capacity of 49.8 mg-IgG/cm3-resin at pH 10, whereas the fastest adsorption was observed among the anion-exchanger resins tested. Inverse size-exclusion chromatography (iSEC) experiments revealed that the apparent pore diameter of MPR Q was approximately 90 nm, which was sufficiently large for the penetration of human IgG and bovine IgM. Moreover, the reduced height equivalent to a theoretical plate, h, of human IgG, determined using the linear gradient elution method was 65.8 and was not significantly changed in the range of linear velocities from 20.37 to 50.93 cm/min. The dynamic binding capacity at 10% breakthrough of MPR Q, determined by frontal analysis, exhibited a capacity of 43.8 mg/cm3 at 5.09 cm/min and 58% of DBC10% was maintained even though the linear velocity was increased to 50.93 cm/min. Furthermore, a resolution for separation of IgG and BSA by MPR Q was 1.06 at 5.09 cm/min, while it was higher than that for the conventional resin at all linear velocities from 5.09 cm/min to 50.93 cm/min. Thus, it was suggested that the MPR Q developed in this study is a promising resin that can efficiently separate large biomacromolecules such as human IgG at higher velocities.

Patterns of protein adsorption in ion-exchange particles and columns: Evolution of protein concentration profiles during load, hold, and wash steps predicted for pore and solid diffusion mechanisms. J Chromatogr A 2021; 1653:462412.

Abstract
Elucidation of protein transport mechanism in ion exchanges is essential to model separation performance. In this work we simulate intraparticle adsorption profiles during batch adsorption assuming typical process conditions for pore, solid and parallel diffusion. Artificial confocal laser scanning microscopy images are created to identify apparent differences between the different transport mechanisms. Typical sharp fronts for pore diffusion are characteristic for Langmuir equilibrium constants of KL ≥1. Only at KL = 0.1 and lower, the profiles are smooth and practically indistinguishable from a solid diffusion mechanism. During hold and wash steps, at which the interstitial buffer is removed or exchanged, continuation of diffusion of protein molecules is significant for solid diffusion due to the adsorbed phase concentration driving force. For pore diffusion, protein mobility is considerable at low and moderate binding strength. Only when pore diffusion if completely dominant, and the binding strength is very high, protein mobility is low enough to restrict diffusion out of the particles. Simulation of column operation reveals substantial protein loss when operating conditions are not adjusted appropriately.

Abstract
3D printing has recently found application in chromatography as a means to create ordered stationary phases with improved separation efficiency. Currently, 3D printed stationary phases are limited by the lack of 3D printing materials suitable for chromatographic applications, and require a strict compromise in terms of desired resolution, model size and the associated print time. Modelling of mass transfer in 3D printed monoliths is also fundamental to understand and further optimise separation performance of 3D printed stationary phases. In this work, a novel 3D printing material was formulated and employed to fabricate monolithic cation exchangers (CEXs) with carboxyl functionalities. CEXs were printed with ligand densities of 0.7, 1.4, 2.1 and 2.8 mmol/g and used in batch adsorption experiments with lysozyme as model protein. All CEXs demonstrated high binding strength towards lysozyme, with maximum binding capacities of up to 108 mg/mL. The experimental results were described using mass transfer models based on lumped pore diffusion and lumped solid diffusion mechanisms adapted to reflect the complex geometry of the 3D printed monoliths. An exact 3D model as well as less computationally demanding 1D and 2D approximations were evaluated in terms of their quality to capture the experimental trend of batch adsorption kinetic data. Overall, the model results indicate that mass transfer in the fabricated CEXs is mostly controlled by pore diffusion at high protein concentrations in the mobile phase, with solid diffusion becoming important at low protein concentrations. Also, the kinetic data were approximated equally well by both the full 3D model as well as the 2D approximation, indicating leaner mathematical models of lower dimensionality can be employed to describe mass transfer in complex three dimensional geometries. We believe this work will help spur the development of 3D printable materials for separations and aid in the development of quantitative platforms to evaluate and optimise the performance of 3D printed monoliths.

Abstract
The strategy of using polymer-grafted media is effective to create protein chromatography of high capacity and uptake rate, giving rise to an excellent performance in high-throughput protein separation due to its high dynamic binding capacity. Taking the scientific development and technological innovation of protein chromatography as the objective, this review is devoted to an overview of polymer-grafted media reported in the last five years, including their fabrication routes, protein adsorption and chromatography, mechanisms behind the adsorption behaviors, limitations of polymer-grafted media and chromatographic operation strategies. Particular emphasis is placed on the elaboration and discussion on the behaviors of ion-exchange chromatography (IEC) with polymer-grafted media because IEC is the most suitable chromatographic mode for this kind of media. Recent advances in both the theoretical and experimental investigations on polymer-grafted media are discussed by focusing on their implications to the rational design of novel chromatographic media and mobile phase conditions for the development of high-performance protein chromatography. It is concluded that polymer-grafted media are suitable for development of IEC and mixed-mode chromatography with charged and low hydrophobic ligands, but not for hydrophobic interaction chromatography with high hydrophobic ligands and affinity chromatography with ligands that have single binding site on the protein.

Abstract
Glycoprotein C (gC) mediates the attachment of HSV-1 to susceptible host cells by interacting with glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) on the cell surface. gC contains a mucin-like region located near the GAG-binding site, which may affect the binding activity. Here, we address this issue by studying a HSV-1 mutant lacking the mucin-like domain in gC and the corresponding purified mutant protein (gCΔmuc) in cell culture and GAG-binding assays, respectively. The mutant virus exhibited two functional alterations as compared with native HSV-1 (i.e. decreased sensitivity to GAG-based inhibitors of virus attachment to cells and reduced release of viral particles from the surface of infected cells). Kinetic and equilibrium binding characteristics of purified gC were assessed using surface plasmon resonance-based sensing together with a surface platform consisting of end-on immobilized GAGs. Both native gC and gCΔmuc bound via the expected binding region to chondroitin sulfate and sulfated hyaluronan but not to the non-sulfated hyaluronan, confirming binding specificity. In contrast to native gC, gCΔmuc exhibited a decreased affinity for GAGs and a slower dissociation, indicating that once formed, the gCΔmuc-GAG complex is more stable. It was also found that a larger number of gCΔmuc bound to a single GAG chain, compared with native gC. Taken together, our data suggest that the mucin-like region of HSV-1 gC is involved in the modulation of the GAG-binding activity, a feature of importance both for unrestricted virus entry into the cells and release of newly produced viral particles from infected cells.

Abstract
Plants offer a valuable alternative to cultured mammalian cells for the production of recombinant biopharmaceutical proteins. However, the target protein typically represents only a minor fraction of the total protein in the initial plant extract, which means that the development of product-specific chromatography-based purification strategies is often laborious and expensive. To address this challenge, we designed a generic downstream process that is suitable for the purification of recombinant proteins with diverse properties from plant production platforms. This was achieved by focusing on the binding behavior of tobacco host cell proteins (HCPs) to a broad set of chromatography resins under different pH and conductivity conditions. Strong cation exchanger and salt-tolerant anion exchanger resins exhibited the best resolution of tobacco HCPs among the 13 tested resins, and their selectivity was easy to manipulate through the adjustment of pH and conductivity. The advantages, such as direct capture of a target protein from leaf extract, and limitations, such as low binding capacity, of various chromatography ligands and resins are discussed. We also address the most useful applications of the chromatography ligands, namely recovery of proteins with a certain pI, in a downstream process that aims to purify diverse plant-derived biopharmaceutical proteins. Based on these results, we describe generic purification schemes that are suitable for acidic, neutral, and basic target proteins, as a first step toward the development of industrial platform processes.

Abstract
A fully-mechanistic understanding of protein transport and sorption in chromatographic materials has remained elusive despite the application of modern continuum and molecular observation techniques. While measuring overall uptake rates in proteins in chromatographic media is relatively straightforward, quantifying mechanistic contributions is much more challenging. Further, at equilibrium in fully-loaded particles, measuring rates of kinetic exchange and diffusion can be very challenging. As models of multicomponent separations rely on accurate depictions of protein displacement and elution, a straightforward method is desired to measure the mobility of bound protein in chromatographic media. We have adapted fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) methods to study transport and exchange of protein at equilibrium in a single particle. Further, we have developed a mathematical model to capture diffusion and desorption rates governing fluorescence recovery and investigate how these rates vary as a function of protein size, binding strength and media type. An emphasis is placed on explaining differences between polymer-modified and traditional media, which in the former case is characterized by rapid uptake, slow displacement and large elution pools, differences that have been postulated to result from steric and kinetic limitations. Finally, good qualitative agreement is achieved predicting flow confocal displacement profiles in polymer-modified materials, based solely on estimates of kinetic and diffusion parameters from FRAP observations.

Abstract
The dynamic binding capacity (DBC) and its dependence on residence time influence the design and productivity of adsorption columns used in protein capture applications. This paper offers a very simple approach to predict the DBC of an adsorption column based on a measurement of the equilibrium binding capacity (EBC) and of the time needed to achieve one-half of the EBC in a batch adsorption test. The approach is based on a mass transfer kinetics model that assumes pore diffusion with a rectangular isotherm; however, the same approach is also shown to work for other systems where solute transport inside the particle occurs through other transport mechanisms.
