It is well established that various proteins, as gelatin and albumin, can be adsorbed on various adsorbents so that the proteincoated particle of adsorbent behaves electrophoretically as a particle of protein (Loeb, 1923; Freundlich and Abramson, 1928). Dummett and Bowden (1933) have recently reported, however, that the behavior of adsorbed hemoglobin varies with the adsorbent surface. Thus, wh...

The separation of ampholytic components according to isoelectric point has played an important role in isolating, reducing complexity and improving peptide and protein detection. This brief review outlines the basics of isoelectric focusing, including a summary of the historical achievements and considerations in experimental design. Derivative methodologies of isoelectric focusing are also dis...
