Methods of calculating protein hydrophobicity and their application in developing correlations to predict hydrophobic interaction chromatography retention.
Hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) is a key technique for protein separation and purification. Different methodologies to estimate the hydrophobicity of a protein are reviewed, which have been related to the chromatographic behavior of proteins in HIC. These methodologies consider either knowledge of the three-dimensional structure or the amino acid composition of proteins. Despite some restrictions; they have proven to be useful in predicting protein retention time in HIC.
