IEP stands for various terms. Discover the full forms, meanings, and possible interpretations of IEP across different fields and industries.
The isoelectric point is the pH at which a particular molecule carries no net electrical charge. The standard nomenclature to represent the isoelectric point is pH, although pI is also commonly seen, and is used in this article for brevity. The net charge on the molecule is affected by pH of its surrounding environment and can become more positively or negatively charged due to the gain or loss, respectively, of protons (H+).
BiologyChemistryHealthHealthcareMedicalMedicineScienceImmunoelectrophoresis is a general name for a number of biochemical methods for separation and characterization of proteins based on electrophoresis and reaction with antibodies. All variants of immunoelectrophoresis require immunoglobulins, also known as antibodies, reacting with the proteins to be separated or characterized. The methods were developed and used extensively during the second half of the 20th century.
