A technique that has become useful in studies of wheat proteins is called gel electrofocusing. In practice this technique is similar to gel electrophoresis but it differs in principle. It separates a complex mixture of proteins according to a characteristic property called isoelectric point. Proteins that have different amino acid compositions have different isoelectric points. Resolution of wheat proteins by this technique is slightly better than that obtainable with gel electrophoresis, but the albumin(water-soluble) and gliadin(alcohol-soluble) components overlap in their separation range, both having isoelectric points in the region from five to eight on the scale used to express acidity or alkalinity of water solutions(pH). 2, record 1, English, - gel%20electrofocusing

Une des techniques utilisée dans l'étude des protéines du blé s'appelle focalisation isoélectrique sur gel. En pratique, elle est identique à l'électrophorèse sur gel, mais son principe est différent. Elle isole un mélange complexe de protéines d'après une propriété caractéristique. Le point isoélectrique. Les protéines qui possèdent des compositions différentes d'acides aminés présentent des points isoélectriques différents. La résolution des protéines du blé par cette technique est légèrement meilleure que celle que l'on peut réaliser par électrophorèse sur gel, mais l'albumine (hydrosoluble) et la gliadine (soluble dans l'alcool) se chevauchent dans leur gamme de séparation, toutes deux ayant des points isoélectriques dans le voisinage de cinq à huit sur l'échelle utilisée pour exprimer l'acidité ou l'alcalinité des solutions aqueuses, le pH. 1, record 1, French, - focalisation%20iso%C3%A9lectrique%20sur%20gel
