    A new, rapid method estimates isoelectric points (pI) of amphoteric molecules using pH-dependent binding affinity. This technique provides accurate protein pI measurements within an hour, avoiding artifacts from conventional methods.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Analytical Chemistry
    • Protein Chemistry

    Background:

    • Isoelectric point (pI) is crucial for protein separation and purification.
    • Conventional methods for pI determination can be time-consuming and introduce artifacts.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a facile and rapid method for estimating isoelectric points of amphoteric molecules.
    • To eliminate potential protein-ampholyte interactions and artifacts common in conventional techniques.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized pH-dependent binding affinity of amphoteric molecules to an ion exchanger.
    • Employed batch procedures for pI estimation, enabling measurements within 1 hour.
    • Validated the method on seven proteins with known isoelectric points.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved isoelectric point measurements within 0.2 pH units of reported values.
    • Demonstrated the elimination of protein-ampholyte interactions and artifact formation.
    • Showcased the ability to measure pI at desired temperatures, minimizing protein denaturation risk.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed method offers a simple, rapid, and artifact-free approach for pI determination.
    • This technique is valuable for selecting optimal protein isolation and purification strategies.
    • Improved precision is achievable with narrower pH gradients, enhancing its utility in protein science.
