With an ideal current dipole in an infinite volume, zero potential will exist in all directions if the distance to the dipole is large enough. Unfortunately, an indifferent (neutral) ECG electrode does not exist because the human body is not large enough. If we go out in one direction along a limb, the limb proper is isoelectric with respect to the heart activity, but not with respect to other sources (e.g., respiration). If we go out along a second limb that too will be isoelectric however, the potential will not be equal to that of the first limb. Therefore none of them represents a true indifferent electrode. 

The position of the electrodes on each limb is uncritical because the distal part of each limb is isoelectric (with respect to ECG, not with respect to, for example, electromyography (EMG) sources of the arm muscles). Such is the reproducibility that the bipolar leads form the basis for determining tbe axis of the electric heart vector. 

The most striking facts to be explained by a theory on the stability of hydrophobic colloids are the valency rule of Schulze and Hardy (see chapter II, 5 c, 1, p 81) and a certain relation between the stability and the -potential. Hardy already observed that a sol flocculates when it is nearly isoelectric with its surroundings, that is when the -potential is reduced to zero. Later investigations by Powis introduced the concept of a critical s-potential below which a sol flocculates and above which it is stable. This critical potential was found to be about 25-30 milli-vplts. The extension of the experimental material on one hand and the criticisms rised against the interpretation of electrophoresis measurements (see chapter V, 6b, p. 210) on the other, made the existence of a critical potential doubtful. Other quantities, connected with the electrolytic character of hydrophobic systems, have been proposed as governing the stability. Of these we mention the function introduced by Eilers and Korff and the activity coefficient / introduced by Wo. Ostwald In the theory of Verwey and Overbeek which will be set out in the next sections, the role of the -poten- tiai is less conspicuous although the electrical double layer remains of fundamental importance.

Sodium Poly(4-styrene sulfonate). The sol—gel processing of TMOS in the presence of sodium poly-4-styrene sulfonate (NaPSS) has been used to synthesize inorganic—organic amorphous complexes (61). These sodium siUcate materials were then isotherm ally crystallized. The processing pH, with respect to the isoelectric point of amorphous siUca, was shown to influence the morphology of the initial gel stmctures. Using x-ray diffraction, the crystallization temperatures were monitored and were found to depend on these initial microstmctures. This was explained in terms of the electrostatic interaction between the evolving siUcate stmctures and the NaPSS prior to heat treatment at elevated temperatures. 

NPH Isophane Human Insulin Suspension. NPH isophane insulin, also called Humulin N, Insulatard NPH Human, or Novolin N is an intermediate-acting form of human insulin produced by recombinant DNA techniques. Mixtures Humulin 70/30 and Novolin 70/30 contain 70% NPH isophane and 30% regular, whereas Humulin 50/50 contains 50% NPH isophane and 50% regular. It is adrninistered subcutaneously and should not be given intravenously. Absorption is delayed because the insulin is conjugated with protamine in a complex of reduced isoelectric solubiUty. Therapeutically, this preparation is probably comparable to purified porcine NPH insulin. However, human NPH insulin may have a slightly shorter duration of action than comparable purified porcine products. 

Hydrolysis. The surfaces of metal oxides and hydroxides can take up or release or OH ions and become charged. Potentials as high as 100 mV may be sustained ia aqueous solutions. For aqueous solutions this is a function of the pH the zeta potential for the particle is positive if the solution pH is below the particle s isoelectric pH (pH ), and negative if the pH is above pH Isoelectric poiats for metal oxides are presented ia several pubheations (22,23). Reactions of hydroxyl groups at a surface, Q, with acid and base may be written as follows ... 

Soybean Protein Isolates. Soybean protein isolates, having a protein content of >90 wt%, are the only vegetable proteins that are widely used in imitation dairy products (1). Most isolates are derived from isoelectric precipitation, so that the soybean protein isolates have properties that are similar to those of casein. They are insoluble at thek isoelectric point, have a relatively high proportion of hydrophobic amino acid residues, and are calcium-sensitive. They differ from casein in that they are heat-denaturable and thus heat-labile. The proteins have relatively good nutritional properties and have been increasingly used as a principal source of protein. A main deterrent to use has been the beany flavor associated with the product. Use is expected to increase in part because of lower cost as compared to caseinates. There has been much research to develop improved soybean protein isolates. 

Isoelectric focusing takes along (from ca 3 to 30 h) time to complete because sample compounds move more and more slowly as they approach the pH in the gel that corresponds to their isoelectric points. Because the gradient ampholytes and the samples stop where they have no mobiHty, the resistivity of the system increases dramatically toward the end of the experiment, and the current decreases dramatically. For this reason, isoelectric focusing is usually mn with constant voltage. Constant current appHcation can lead to overheating of the system. 

Water-soluble polymers and polyelectrolytes (e.g., polyethylene glycol, polyethylene imine polyacrylic acid) have been used success-hilly in protein precipitations, and there has been some success in affinity precipitations wherein appropriate ligands attached to polymers can couple with the target proteins to enhance their aggregation. Protein precipitation can also be achieved using pH adjustment, since proteins generally exhibit their lowest solubility at their isoelectric point. Temperature variations at constant salt concentration allow for frac tional precipitation of proteins. 

Human serum albumin has been purified similarly with 25% EtOH and 0.2% decanol. The isoelectric points of bovine and human serum albumins are 5.1 and 4.9.

One of the most popular orally active penicillins in present clinical use is amoxicillin (12). Its oral effectiveness and broad spectrum of activity against common pathogens as well as its better absorption than its closest precedent competitor, ampicillin (14), largely accounts for this. Higher blood and tissue levels of antibiotics is another means of dealing with resistance. In an attempt to achieve yet further improvements in oral bioavailability and hence blood and ti.ssue levels of amoxicillin, the prodmg fumoxicillin (13) is prepared from amoxicillin (12) by treatment with furfural [3]. The imine moiety is less basic than the primary amine so that the isoelectric point of fumoxicillin is more on the acid side than is that of amoxicillin.
