The pressure-induced adsorption of proteins at hydrophilic and hydrophobic interfaces was studied by x-ray reflectivity measurements. In our custom-built cell for x-ray reflectivity (XRR) measurements [1], we are able to apply pressures up to 5 kbar and study the solid/liquid interface in-situ with Angstrom resolution. As hydrophobic surfaces, silicon wafers covered with octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) were used, while bare silicon wafers with a native silicon dioxide layer provide charged, hydrophilic interfaces. Lysozyme was used in 20 mM BisTris buffer (pH 7.1) at a concentration of 0.1 mg/ml. The measurements were performed at the synchrotron light sources DELTA (Dortmund, Germany), ESRF (Grenoble, France) and SLS (Villigen, Switzerland) using high energy x-ray radiation. At low pressures, only a monolayer of lysozyme adsorbs at both interfaces. When pressure is increased, a second layer of lysozyme adsorbs. Because the thickness of the first layer decreases in this process, we suppose a partial collapse of the first lysozyme layer. [1] F. J.
