Acidic amino acids have lower isoelectric points (pI) because they contain side chains that donate protons, making them more likely to carry a negative charge at physiological pH, whereas basic amino acids, with side chains that accept protons, tend to have higher pI values as they are more likely to carry a positive charge.
