Example sentencesExamples
- The use of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis also can be used to determine the isoelectric charge of proteins (pI).
- This revealed the presence of three or four acidic proteins with slightly different isoelectric points.
- The mature protein consists of 377 amino acids with an estimated isoelectric point of 5.9 and a calculated molecular mass of 42.4 kDa.
- For instance, whey protein is least soluble at its isoelectric point - 4.2 to 4.5 pH for lactalbumin, and 5.3 to 5.5 for lactoglobulin.
- This is because separation according to the isoelectric point and the molecular weight are carried out through time-consuming gel electrophoresis analysis.
