The change of molecular orientation of IgG, bound on a strong-anion-exchange surface, was studied using a generalization of the stoichiometric displacement model, over the entire range of protein adsorption isotherms. The Z number was found to decrease with increasing stationary phase protein concentration, approaching a limiting value. The analogy of the multiple equilibria model within highly cooperative identical binding sites was suggested as a possible way to evaluate the observed change in Z number with the protein concentration.
