Pronounced adsorption of ferritin on ultrastable zeolite Y crystals is shown to be correlated to protein aggregation. Adsorption of ferritin molecules on low- and high-silica zeolite Y crystals results in different arrangements of the protein molecules. It is also shown that structural information, like unit cell parameters, can be obtained from inorganic materials present in vitrified solutions.
In recent years the use of zeolites, crystalline aluminum silicates, has been an alternative or complement to common biochemical methods in the purification of proteins.[5,6] Earlier studies of the adsorption of proteins on ultrastable zeolite Y (USY) have shown the protein adsorption to be dependent on pH value and ionic strength.[5] The process is believed to be predominantly mediated by protein aggregates interacting Ferritin is an iron storage protein present in animals and plants. The protein is spherical with a diameter of approx- imately 12 nm. The iron core can consist of up to 4500 Fe ions, thus giving a useful contrast when viewed with the micro- scope. In TEM images ferritin molecules are identified as black spots; the iron core is about 5 nm in diameter. The high contrast from the iron core makes it difficult to see the protein shell. ApoferritinÐthat is, ferritin without an iron coreÐis Figure 1. TEM images of frozen aqueous solutions containing horse spleen identified as a doughnut-shaped molecule with a diameter of ferritin and USY crystals. The lighter areas of various shapes on the crystallites are interpreted as mesopores formed during dealumination; 12 nm. Generally, a protein shows a minimum solubility some are indicated by white arrows. Ferritin molecules are identified as around its isoelectric point (IEP), the pH value in solution black spots approximately 5 nm in diameter. a) Adsorption of ferritin on where the sum of charges on the protein is zero. The IEP for USY in a 20 mmolLÀ1 glycine solution at pH 3.0.

Ferritin molecules are mainly present as structure, but differ in Si/Al ratio and surface texture. The Si/ monomers and a large number of small aggregates consisting of five Al ratio is 2.6 in NaY and 230 in USY, indicating a great molecules or less. Only a few ferritin molecules are adsorbed on the zeolite.
Poorly defined surfaces of the crystallite are probably also due to the difference in framework charge density and thus in surface dealumination. c) Ferritin aggregates of various sizes adsorbed on a USY charge density. The textural difference is due to mesopore crystal in 20 mmolLÀ1 buffer solution at pH 5.2 containing 150 mmolLÀ1 formation during dealumination,[8] and results in less defined NaCl. Aggregates of various sizes were adsorbed on crystals. The black arrow indicates a dimer on the {100} surface of the crystal (see text for Partial precipitation of ferritin was obtained in 20 mmolLÀ1 acetate solution at pH 3.6 (low ionic strength) and also in 20 mmolLÀ1 acetate at pH 5.2 containing 150 mmolLÀ1 NaCl ionic strength) resembled the distribution observed at pH 3.0 (high ionic strength). No visible precipitation was observed in and at high ionic strength (Figure 1b). Also in this case, there solutions of 20 mmolLÀ1 glycin at pH 3.0, either with or was a high degree of monomers and small aggregates (3 ± without the addition of 150 mmolLÀ1 NaCl, or in 20 mmolLÀ1 10 molecules) and only a minor interaction with the zeolite acetate at pH 5.2. Solutions of low ionic strength at pH 3.0 crystals. The solution at pH 5.2 with 150 mmolLÀ1 NaCl was showed the presence of a wide distribution of intermediate- clarified by centrifugation prior to the incubation with USY in sized protein aggregates mainly consisting of less than 15 ± 20 order to remove large precipitates. The majority of the wide ferritin molecules. Cryo-TEM images of such solutions also distribution of protein aggregates remaining in solution containing USY showed that the aggregates were mainly consisted of less than 30 ferritin molecules. In the presence adsorbed on the zeolite crystals (Figure 1 a). Note that the of these aggregates the adsorption on USY crystals was again solution surrounding the crystallite is depleted of ferritin more pronounced (Figure 1c). As in the case shown in molecules.

consequently low in the pH 3.0 solution containing Nevertheless, the adsorption of ferritin resulted in a different 150 mmolLÀ1 NaCl (Figure 1b.) Increasing the pH value protein arrangement on the NaY crystals than on the USY leads to an increased deprotonation of the USY crystal crystals. In Figure 2 a the NaY crystal is viewed approximately surfaces and hence an increase in negative charges. The reduced adsorption in 20 mmolLÀ1 buffer solution at pH 5.2 (low ionic strength) is reminiscent of the case of the solution at pH 3.0 containing 150 mmolLÀ1 NaCl (Figure 1b) and is explained by a cooperative effect of two different events: 1) The net negative charge on the ferritin molecules is enough to maintain a low degree of aggregation, and 2) as the protein and the USY surfaces have charges of the same sign, interaction is reduced due to repulsive forces. The addition of salt causes a shielding effect of the repulsive forces between the USY surfaces and ferritin molecules, enabling protein aggregates to be formed and adsorbed (Figure 1c).
The different adsorption behavior of ferritin on NaY and USY (Figure 2) could be explained by the great difference in chemical composition. On the NaY surface approximately Figure 2.

As adsorption was NaY crystal is viewed approximately along [110], as indicated by the power spectrum in the inset; the arrows in the inset indicate the reciprocal performed in a solution of low ionic strength and at a pH distance to the {111} reflections. Due to partial precipitation of ferritin, the value below the IEP for ferritin, the interactions are much solution contained a wide distribution of mainly large aggregates (50 ± more ionic in character at the NaY crystal surfaces than at 100 molecules). Nevertheless, ferritin molecules are almost uniformly distributed on the NaY crystal, except for a few aggregates indicated by arrows. The diameter of the doughnut shaped molecules is 12 nm, corresponding to the size of apoferritin. b) The adsorbed ferritin molecules on USY result in a different pattern. Large aggregates are adsorbed in a patchlike manner only covering parts of the crystallite.

Diameters of the zeolite reciprocal distances to the {111} reflections correspond to crystals thus collected were in the range of 150 ± 1000 nm, as estimated from 1.42 nm in real space, which agrees well with the calculated low-magnification cryo-TEM images. Adsorption was performed by incubation of horse spleen ferritin with zeolite supernatant suspensions distance of 1.42 nm for NaY (Fd3Åm, a0 ˆ 2.47 nm). There does for 1 h on a rocking table at room temperature (ferritin concentration not seem to be any preference for adsorption on any approximately 0.02 mg mLÀ1).

Since many of these molecules are at the same allowed to raise above À 160 8C. The images were recorded under low-dose focus as the dark spots, it can be ruled out that the doughnut conditions using 117-kV energy filtered electrons on a Gatan 791 cooled shape is due to focal effects. Therefore, the NaY crystal is covered with both ferritin and apoferritin molecules. On USY ferritin is adsorbed patch-wise as aggregates, and only a German version: Angew.
