摘要	Protein aggregation is a key concern in biopharmaceutical development and manufacturing. There is growing interest in understanding how the changes in protein microconformation affect the aggregation behavior. This study selected several representative proteins and first manipulated microconformational changes of the aromatic hydrophobic regions of proteins, especially tryptophan residues, by using amine or guanidine additives. The effects of the interactions between the additives and proteins on the aromatic hydrophobic regions could be grouped into three categories: exposure to solvent, burial into core, and no change. The microconformational parameters of the tryptophan residue, including fluorescence peak position (lambda(m)), degree of hydrolysis, solvent accessible surface area (SAS), and packing density (Den), were obtained by steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy, proteolysis coupled with electrophoresis, and molecular dynamics simulation. Furthermore, the aggregation degrees of globular proteins with distinct surface aromatic hydrophobilities under mechanical stress were investigated. A strong correlation was observed between protein aggregation and the microconformational changes of the aromatic hydrophobic regions incurred by amine or guanidine additives. Protein aggregation was enhanced when the aromatic hydrophobic regions were exposed to the solvent but suppressed when the additives led to burial of the aromatic hydrophobic regions with lower-polarity microenvironment. These findings shed light on the relationship between protein aggregation and molecular conformation and paved way for future preformulation studies of therapeutic proteins.
