Molecular and Energetic Descriptions of the Plasma Protein Adsorption onto the PVC Surface: Implications for Biocompatibility in Medical Devices

Résumé

Protein adsorption on material surfaces plays a key role in the biocompatibility of medical devices. Therefore, understanding the complex interplay of physicochemical factors driving this kind of biofouling is paramount for advancing biomaterial design. In this study, we investigated the interaction of the most prominent plasma proteins with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) as one of the ubiquitous materials in medical devices. Through molecular docking, we identified human serum albumin (HSA) as a plasma protein with the highest affinity for adsorption onto the PVC surface with the binding energy of -25.9 kJ mol -1 . Subsequently, utilizing triplicate molecular dynamics (MD) simulations (0.5 μs each), we quantitatively analyzed the interactions between HSA and PVC, probing potential structural changes in the protein upon adsorption. Our findings revealed that water-mediated hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces are key contributors in stabilizing HSA onto the surface of PVC without significant alteration to its secondary and tertiary structures. The observed distribution of water molecules further highlights the importance of the hydration layer in facilitating and modulating protein-polymer interactions. We further evaluated the thermodynamic properties governing the adsorption process by calculating the potential of mean force (PMF) along the direction normal to the surface. The computed Gibbs free energy of adsorption at 300 K (-507.4 kJ/mol) indicated a thermodynamically favored and spontaneous process. Moreover, our investigations across different temperatures (290 to 310 K) consistently showed an enthalpy-driven adsorption process.
