isoelectric showing no variation in electric potential. isoelectric focusing an electrophoretic method for separating proteins in gels which depends on the fact that the net charge on the protein varies with the pH of the surrounding medium. At the isoelectric point the protein has no net charge and will not therefore migrate further in an electric field. The polyacrylamide gel is cast in a narrow tube that provides a pH gradient from top to bottom. isoelectric period the moment in muscular contraction when no deflection of the galvanometer is produced.
