It is recognized that there are cases where liquid exchangers are employed and where it may be difficult to distinguish between the separation process as belonging to ion exchange or liquid-liquid distribution, but the broad definition given here is regarded as that which is most appropriate.

For any given protein the isoelectric pH will vary somewhat, depending on the ionic composition of the medium, since proteins can bind certain anions and/or cations. When a protein solution is thoroughly dialyzed against distilled H2O to remove all small ions other than -H[superscript+] and OH-, the pH of the resulting solution is known as the isoionic pH. The isoionic pH is a constant for any given protein. 3, record 12, English, - isoionic%20point

pH pour lequel le nombre de protons dissociés des groupes donateurs est égal à celui des protons combinés aux groupes accepteurs (-COO- = -NH3[exposant+]). On ne l'observe que lorsque les protons sont les seuls ions mis en jeu, donc en solution aqueuse pure. 1, record 12, French, - pH%20isoionique

En général le terme de "point isoionique" désigne le pH auquel la charge nette est nulle lorsque la substance est dissoute dans l'eau pure et n'a la possibilité de fixer que des protons. Mais le plus souvent il y a d'autres ions en solution, lesquels peuvent également être fixés par la substance, de sorte que la molécule peut encore être chargée au pH correspondant au point isoionique, et on utilise le terme de "point isoélectrique" pour désigner le pH auquel est nulle la charge d'une molécule ayant fixé des ions étrangers. 3, record 12, French, - pH%20isoionique
