• The most widely used method for the preparation of protein isolates on a commercial scale involves alkaline extraction of proteins, followed by which the extracted proteins are precipitated at their isoelectric point (Kaur and Sing, 2007).

• So the mechanism here is called isoelectric focusing.

• The comparison of ion exchange resin and HPLC was described regarding isoelectric points of amino acids.

• Lysine was eluted with tris HCl (pH 9) as its isoelectric point is between 9 and 10 pH, which ensured its complete recovery (Zurawick, 1999).

• RNASE1B is a duplication of RNASE1 and is expressed in the small intestine; there are nine mutations between it and RNASE1, seven of which alter the charge and isoelectric point.

• The proteins from defatted flour of red kidney beans were isolated by alkaline extraction and isoelectric precipitation method as described by Kaur and Sing (2007) with slight modifications.

• The isoelectric point determines when a protein will have no net charge in solution.

• Scientists measure the isoelectric point of amino acids to understand their behavior in different pH environments.

• At its isoelectric point, the molecule has equal positive and negative charges, resulting in no overall electric charge.
