Isoelectric Focusing (IEF)
Can use polyacrylamide or agarose gelsBased on molecules that can be positively or negatively charged (amphoteric)For example: proteins, enzymes, peptidesThe net charge of protein is the sum of the positive and negative charges of the amino acid side chains.When the net charge of the protein is 0 that is the proteins isoelectric point.When a protein has reached its isoelectric point, it will stop migrating through the gel at a certain pH point.

How does the pH gradient work in the gel matrix
Carrier ampholytes are in the gel matrix that are low molecular weight and have closely related isoelectric pointsWhen electricity is applied to the gel the ampholytes forms a pH gradient in the gel.When an amphoteric protein from a sample is no longer charged the electrical current will not have an effect on it. If that protein were to diffuse back away from its pI point, it will gain a net charge again, and go back to that same pI and pH point in the gel. Thus, the term FOCUSING.

IEF gels will keep indefinitely. This is valuable for use as reference material.
We have every gel that has been run on every material that has been tested since using IEF for genetic purity testing.

Nothing ever goes wrong!
If you switch the anode and cathode solutions when loading your gels, the readings will be off. (Volts go down, amps go up)
If you forget to put a gel in TCA soln you will have a practically blank gel when staining
If a platinum wire breaks, an anode/cathode isn’t plugged in right, or a gel is taken off to soon-the gel will not run the whole way
A gel can start sparking
Power supply is set for the wrong wattage
