Abstract
In this review, we highlight the recent progress in our understanding of the structure, properties and applications of protein-polyelectrolyte complexes in both bulk and micellar assemblies. Protein-polyelectrolyte complexes form the basis of the genetic code, enable facile protein purification, and have emerged as enterprising candidates for simulating protocellular environments and as efficient enzymatic bioreactors. Such complexes undergo self-assembly in bulk due to a combined influence of electrostatic interactions and entropy gains from counterion release. Diversifying the self-assembly by incorporation of block polyelectrolytes has further enabled fabrication of protein-polyelectrolyte complex micelles that are multifunctional carriers for therapeutic targeted delivery of proteins such as enzymes and antibodies. We discuss research efforts focused on the structure, properties and applications of protein-polyelectrolyte complexes in both bulk and micellar assemblies, along with the influences of amphoteric nature of proteins accompanying patchy distribution of charges leading to unique phenomena including multiple complexation windows and complexation on the wrong side of the isoelectric point.

Abstract
We investigate the formation of hybrid polyelectrolyte/protein nanoparticles by associations between aggregates of partially hydrolyzed poly(2-phenyl-2-oxazoline) (HPPhOx) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) in aqueous solutions. Light scattering experiments show that at conditions of low salt, BSA creates interaggregate bridges and increases the size of the HPPhOx nanoparticles. At high salt contents, breaking of aggregates leads to well-defined nanoparticles. The interior of the formed nanoparticles is probed by small-angle neutron scattering. At low salt, diffuse arrangements are observed, whereas at high salt concentration, scattering is dominated by well-defined hydrophobic domains enhanced by the incorporation of BSA. This system shows that the combination of hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions in random-amphiphilic-polyelectrolyte/protein complexes can be used to determine the properties of self-assembled hybrid multifunctional nanoparticles.

Abstract
Polyelectrolyte gels are useful as carriers of proteins and other biomacromolecules in, e.g., drug delivery. The rational design of such systems requires knowledge about how the binding and release are affected by electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions between the components. To this end we have investigated the uptake of lysozyme by weakly crosslinked spherical poly(styrenesulfonate) (PSS) microgels and macrogels by means of micromanipulator assisted light microscopy and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) in an aqueous environment. The results show that the binding process is an order of magnitude slower than for cytochrome c and for lysozyme binding to sodium polyacrylate gels under the same conditions. This is attributed to the formation of very dense protein-rich shells in the outer layers of the microgels with low permeability to the protein. The shells in macrogels contain 60 wt % water and nearly charge stoichiometric amounts of lysozyme and PSS in the form of dense complexes of radius 8 nm comprising 30⁻60 lysozyme molecules. With support from kinetic modelling results we propose that the rate of protein binding and the relaxation rate of the microgel are controlled by the protein mass transport through the shell, which is strongly affected by hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions. The mechanism explains, in turn, an observed dependence of the diffusion rate on the apparent degree of crosslinking of the networks.

Abstract
The interactions between model polyanions and polycations have been studied using frontal continuous capillary electrophoresis (FACCE) which allows the determination of binding stoichiometry and binding constant of the formed polyelectrolyte complex (PEC). In this work, the effect of the poly(l-lysine) (PLL) molar mass on the interaction with statistical copolymers of acrylamide and 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonate (PAMAMPS) has been systematically investigated for different PAMAMPS chemical charge densities (15% and 100%) and different ionic strengths. The study of the ionic strength dependence of the binding constant allowed the determination of the total number of released counter-ions during the formation of the PEC, which can be compared to the total number of counter-ions initially condensed on the individual polyelectrolyte partners before the association. Interestingly, this fraction of released counter-ions, which was strongly dependent on the PLL molar mass, was almost independent of the PAMAMPS charge density. These findings are useful to predict the binding constant according to the molar mass and charge density of the polyelectrolyte partners.

Abstract
While many studies on coacervation have targeted biomacromolecules, we review in this article the key structure, thermodynamic and kinetic features of a fully synthetic coacervating system based on polyacrylic acid (PAA) and poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC) oppositely charged polyelectrolytes at pH10, where PAA chains are fully deprotonated. Among the main points of interest, we can highlight (i) the presence of polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) nanoparticles that, unexpectedly, coexist with a certain amount of coacervate droplets in a large range of compositions, even far from stoichiometry; (ii) the fact that these PEC nanoparticles are likely precursors of the coacervation occurring at stoichiometry; (iii) the formation of soluble PECs only in a certain range of physicochemical conditions; (iv) the equilibrium properties of the system; (v) and last but not least a distinctive kinetic signature at stoichiometry evidenced by a peak in light scattering at very short times (~100ms). Some of these results can be rationalized on the basis of weak interaction unfolding between oppositely charged PAA and PDADMAC chains as revealed by microcalorimetry measurements.

Abstract
The folding/unfolding behavior of proteins (enzymes) in confined space is important for their properties and functions, but such a behavior remains largely unexplored. In this article, we reported our finding that lysozyme and a double hydrophilic block copolymer, methoxypoly(ethylene glycol)5K-block-poly(l-aspartic acid sodium salt)10 (mPEG(5K)-b-PLD10), can form a polyelectrolyte complex micelle with a particle size of ∼30 nm, as verified by dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy. The unfolding and refolding behaviors of lysozyme molecules in the presence of the copolymer were studied by microcalorimetry and circular dichroism spectroscopy. Upon complex formation with mPEG(5K)-b-PLD10, lysozyme changed from its initial native state to a new partially unfolded state. Compared with its native state, this copolymer-complexed new folding state of lysozyme has different secondary and tertiary structures, a decreased thermostability, and significantly altered unfolding/refolding behaviors. It was found that the native lysozyme exhibited reversible unfolding and refolding upon heating and subsequent cooling, while lysozyme in the new folding state (complexed with the oppositely charged PLD segments of the polymer) could unfold upon heating but could not refold upon subsequent cooling. By employing the heating-cooling-reheating procedure, the prevention of complex formation between lysozyme and polymer due to the salt screening effect was observed, and the resulting uncomplexed lysozyme regained its proper unfolding and refolding abilities upon heating and subsequent cooling. Besides, we also pointed out the important role the length of the PLD segment played during the formation of micelles and the monodispersity of the formed micelles. Furthermore, the lysozyme-mPEG(5K)-b-PLD10 mixtures prepared in this work were all transparent, without the formation of large aggregates or precipitates in solution as frequently observed in other protein-polyelectrolyte systems. Hence, the present protein-PEGylated poly(amino acid) mixture provides an ideal water-soluble model system to study the important role of electrostatic interaction in the complexation between proteins and polymers, leading to important new knowledge on the protein-polymer interactions. Moreover, the polyelectrolyte complex micelle formed between protein and PEGylated polymer may provide a good drug delivery vehicle for therapeutic proteins.

Abstract
The prevention of aggregation during renaturation of urea-denatured carbonic anhydrase B (CAB) via hydrophobic and Coulomb association with anionic polymers was studied in mixed solutions of CAB and amphiphilic poly(acrylate) copolymers. The polymers were derivatives of a parent poly(acrylic acid) randomly grafted with hydrophobic side groups (either 3 mol % octadecyl group, or 1-5 mol % alkylamidoazobenzene photoresponsive groups). CAB:polymer complexes were characterized by light scattering and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy in aqueous buffers (pH 7.75 or 5.9). Circular dichroism and enzyme activity assays enabled us to study the kinetics of renaturation. All copolymers, including the hydrophilic PAA parent chain, provided a remarkable protective effect against CAB aggregation during renaturation, and most of them (but not the octadecyl-modified one) markedly enhanced the regain of activity as compared to CAB alone. The significant role of Coulomb binding in renaturation and comparatively the lack of efficacy of hydrophobic association was highlighted by measurements of activity regain before and after in situ dissociation of hydrophobic complexes (achieved by phototriggering the polarity of azobenzene-modified polymers under exposure to UV light). In the presence of polymers (CAB:polymer of 1:1 w/w ratio) at concentration ∼0.6 g L(-1), the radii of the largest complexes were similar to the radii of the copolymers alone, suggesting that the binding of CAB involves one or a few polymer chain(s). These complexes dissociated by dilution (0.01 g L(-1)). It is concluded that prevention of irreversible aggregation and activity recovery were achieved when marginally stable complexes are formed. Reaching a balanced stability of the complex plays the main role in CAB renaturation, irrespective of the nature of the binding (by Coulomb association, with or without contribution of hydrophobic association).

Abstract
A novel amphiphilic and biodegradable polyelectrolyte DS-CA is prepared by the esterification of DS with CA. DS-CA can self-assemble into stable nanoparticles in water. SOD can effectively associate with DS-CA at pH = 5.0 by virtue of electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions. SOD release from the complex nanoparticles is slow at pH = 1.2. The release at pH = 7.4 PBS shows an extended behavior and is tunable by changing the weight ratio of SOD to DS-CA as well as the CA substitution degree. Increasing the CA substitution degree of DS-CA can significantly enhance the cellular uptake of the loaded SOD. This study demonstrates that the amphiphilic DS-CA provides a promising strategy for oral delivery of protein/peptide drugs.

Abstract
Polyelectrolyte-colloid coacervation could be viewed as a sub-category of complex coacervation, but is unique in (1) retaining the structure and properties of the colloid, and (2) reducing the heterogeneity and configurational complexity of polyelectrolyte-polyelectrolyte (PE-PE) systems. Interest in protein-polyelectrolyte coacervates arises from preservation of biofunctionality; in addition, the geometric and charge isotropy of micelles allows for better comparison with theory, taking into account the central role of colloid charge density. In the context of these two systems, we describe critical conditions for complex formation and for coacervation with regard to colloid and polyelectrolyte charge densities, ionic strength, PE molecular weight (MW), and stoichiometry; and effects of temperature and shear, which are unique to the PE-micelle systems. The coacervation process is discussed in terms of theoretical treatments and models, as supported by experimental findings. We point out how soluble aggregates, subject to various equilibria and disproportionation effects, can self-assemble leading to heterogeneity in macroscopically homogeneous coacervates, on multiple length scales.

Adv Colloid Interface Sci 2011; 167:71-84. [PMID: 21820643 DOI: 10.1016/j.cis.2011.05.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 38] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2010] [Revised: 05/04/2011] [Accepted: 05/11/2011] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
We review, based on structural information, the mechanisms involved when putting in contact two nano-objects of opposite electrical charge, in the case of one negatively charged polyion, and a compact charged one. The central case is mixtures of PSS, a strong flexible polyanion (the salt of a strong acid, and with high linear charge density), and Lysozyme, a globular protein with a global positive charge. A wide accurate and consistent set of information in different situations is available on the structure at local scales (5-1000Å), due to the possibility of matching, the reproducibility of the system, its well-defined electrostatics features, and the well-defined structures obtained. We have related these structures to the observations at macroscopic scale of the phase behavior, and to the expected mechanisms of coacervation. On the one hand, PSS/Lysozyme mixtures show accurately many of what is expected in PEL/protein complexation, and phase separation, as reviewed by de Kruif: under certain conditions some well-defined complexes are formed before any phase separation, they are close to neutral; even in excess of one species, complexes are only modestly charged (surface charges in PEL excess). Neutral cores are attracting each other, to form larger objects responsible for large turbidity. They should lead the system to phase separation; this is observed in the more dilute samples, while in more concentrated ones the lack of separation in turbid samples is explained by locking effects between fractal aggregates. On the other hand, although some of the features just listed are the same required for coacervation, this phase transition is not really obtained. The phase separation has all the macroscopic aspects of a fluid (undifferentiated liquid/gas phase) - solid transition, not of a fluid-fluid (liquid-liquid) one, which would correspond to real coacervation). The origin of this can be found in the interaction potential between primary complexes formed (globules), which agrees qualitatively with a potential shape of the type repulsive long range attractive very short range. Finally we have considered two other systems with accurate structural information, to see whether other situations can be found. For Pectin, the same situation as PSS can be found, as well as other states, without solid precipitation, but possibly with incomplete coacervation, corresponding to differences in the globular structure. It is understandable that these systems show smoother interaction potential between the complexes (globules) likely to produce liquid-liquid transition. Finally, we briefly recall new results on Hyaluronan/Lysozyme, which present clear signs of coacervation in two liquid phases, and at the same time the existence of non-globular complexes, of specific geometry (thin rods) before any phase separation. These mixtures fulfill many of the requirements for complex coacervation, while other theories should also be checked like the one of Shklovskii et al.

Abstract
Trends and past achievements in the field of food colloids are reviewed. Specific mention is made of advances in knowledge and understanding in the areas of (i) structure and rheology of protein gels, (ii) properties of adsorbed protein layers, (iii) functionality derived from protein-polysaccharide interactions, and (iv) oral processing of food colloids. Amongst ongoing experimental developments, the technique of particle tracking for monitoring local dynamics and microrheology of food colloids is highlighted. The future outlook offers exciting challenges with expected continued growth in research into digestion processes, encapsulation, controlled delivery, and nanoscience.

Abstract
The complexation between hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) and a novel pH-sensitive and intrinsically hydrophobic polyelectrolyte poly(sodium(sulfamate-carboxylate)isoprene) (SCPI), was investigated by means of dynamic, static, and electrophoretic light scattering and isothermal titration calorimetry measurements. The complexation process was studied at both pH 7 and 3 (high and low charge density of the SCPI, respectively) and under low ionic strength conditions for two polyelectrolyte samples of different molecular weights. The solution behavior, structure, and effective charge of the formed complexes proved to be dependent on the pH, the [-]/[+] charge ratio, and the molecular weight of the polyelectrolyte. Increasing the ionic strength of the solution led to vast aggregation and eventually precipitation of the complexes. The interaction between HEWL and SCPI was found to be mainly electrostatic, associated with an exothermic enthalpy change. The structural investigation of the complexed protein by fluorescence, infrared, circular dichroism spectroscopic, and differential scanning calorimetric measurements revealed no signs of denaturation upon complexation.
