isoelectric
- adjective
- /ˌaɪsoʊɪˈlɛktrɪk/
- Specialized
:
equipotencial
- The solution reached an isoelectric state, where the electric potential was uniform across all points.
Examples
-
During the experiment, we observed that the particles were isoelectric, indicating no voltage difference was present.
-
So the last part of this question is to indicate where the isoelectric point is.
-
The low protein solubility at the isoelectric region is ascribed to the balance of negative and positive charges, resulting in the reduction of electrostatic repulsive interactions.
Academic text (2014) -
The balance of positive and negative charges at the isoelectric region minimizes repulsive interactions, which promote stronger interactions of protein molecules, resulting in an improvement of gelation capacity.
Academic text (2014) -
At the isoelectric point, the protein has no net charge, making it less soluble in solution.
Synonyms
A line or surface where every point has the same potential in an electric field

Etymology
Isoelectric comes from iso- meaning 'equal' and electric meaning 'relating to electricity', so when two points are isoelectric they are at the 'same voltage' and show no voltage difference between them.
