Subject: Re: Tables of Protein Isoelectric Points (pIs)

You may get the information you need from a small paperback/pamphlet
(30pgs) from Calbiochem entitled "Buffers: A guide for the preparation
and use of buffers in biological systems," by Chandra Mohan, Ph.D.
Copyright 1995 by Calbiochem-Novabiochem International. Tables 3 and 4 on
pages 20-22 contain the pI's of several(approx. 100) proteins/plasma
proteins. In the back, they give a phone number and address for customer
service: 800-854-3417
P.O. Box 12087
La Jolla, CA 92039-2087

I'm sure one way or another you can get a copy from them.
