Abstract: The retention behavior of five proteins in high performance hydrophobic interaction chromatography(HPHIC)under the mobile phase consisting of(NH4)2SO4-KH2PO4 containing guanidine hydrochloride was investigated.By using the stoichiometric displacement model for retention(SDM-R)of solute in liquid chromatography, and the measuring surface tension of the mobile phase in the presence of GuHCl, also and UVspectra, it was found that in the range of low concentraction of GuHCl, the hydrophobic irnteraction is considered as the main contribution to the retention of the proteins, However, whem the concentration of GuHCl in the mobile phase is getting higher, the changes of the molecular conformation of proteins by means of GuHCl in the HPHICbecome the most important factor to influecing the retention of proteins.
