The isoelectric point (pI, pH(I),IEP), is the pH at which a particular molecule carries no net electrical charge in the statistical mean.

Isoelectric point. The isoelectric point (pI, pH(I), IEP), is the pH at which a particular molecule carries no net electrical charge in the statistical mean. The standard nomenclature to represent the isoelectric point is pH(I), although pI is also commonly seen, and is used in this article for brevity.
