it is the pH at which a particular molecule or surface carries no net electrical charge(or contain both electric charch, negative as wall as positive).
-There is least osmotic pressure because the least number of ions are produced.
-The solubility of amino acids and proteins are at least amount at this point.
It is a pH where the net charge of the protein is considered as zero!
we need to know the pI of protein in order to understand that at what pH a specific reaction occurs.

Proteins carries both positively and negatively charged amino acids on them. so they are known as Amphoteric molecules that contain both charges (Zwitterions). An isoelectric pH or point is a pH where the net charge of the protein molecule is zero.

Like any other amino acid, tryptophan possesses both acidic and basic characteristics, referred to as amphoteric substances. It acts as an acid at pH below 5.89 and as a base at pH above 5.89. 5.89 here is the isoelectric point of tryptophan, a pH value where its overall charge is zero and wherein it neither acts as an acid, nor as a base.
Electrophoresis is performed in a buffer solution with a static pH. An electric field is applied to the electrophoresis chamber containing a positive end and a negative end. If the pH of the substance being electrophoresed is lower than the surrounding buffer, it will migrate towards the positive end. If the substance has a pH higher than the surrounding buffer, it will migrate towards the negative end. Substances migrate at different rates based on two things: particle size, and overall charge. The greater the difference between the migrating substance's pH and the pH of the surrounding buffer, the faster that substance will migrate through the gel. Large molecules get "stuck" due to friction forces and migrate less rapidly than smaller particles that can navigate through the gel with very little resistance.

It is the pH at which a particular molecule or surface carries no net electrical charge
pI is the isoelectric point. This is a pH value where a protein has no net charge. NOTE: Proteins may have multiple pI's.
An amino acid is considered to be at its isoelectric point when the positive charges on the molecule exactly balance its negative charges. At this point, the amino acid carries no net charge and is therefore immobile in an electric field. Isoelectric points of amino acids widely vary accoriding to their side chains and polarity characteristics.

pH of sodium acetate buffer is 4.6 and most of the proteins have 4.8 isoelectric pH (pI), so buffer maintains the pI of casein in the casein estimation from milk

It is about isoelectric precipitation. This involves the principle on isoelectric pH of a certain solution. Casein has its isoelectric pH at 4.6. Therefore, it is insoluble in solutions with pH lower than 4.6. The pH of milk is around 6.6 which gives casein the negative charge and makes it a soluble salt. Once you add an acid to the solution, the negative charge of casein becomes neutral, precipitating the neutral protein (casein).
