I hadn't thought much about "Isoelectric points", figuring that people would generally do baseline correction to set the isoelectric level at zero.
However, a set of isoelectric points (x,y annotations) would let one preserve the raw record and allow the viewer to implement a piece-wise linear or cubic spline fit correction.

1) By carrying out separation of the isoelectric point and molecular weight (two inherent characteristics of protein) on a nanobiochip and mass spectrometer respectively, short-time analysis of approximately one hour is achieved.
This is a method that uses the isoelectric point and molecular weight to carry out two-dimensional separating and sorting of protein within the structure.
This is because separation according to the isoelectric point and the molecular weight are carried out through time-consuming gel electrophoresis analysis.

The pH at which this lack of movement during electrophoresis happens is known as the isoelectric point of the amino acid.
