According to some opinions, [6] [7] living eukaryotic cells perform isoelectric focusing of proteins in their interior to overcome a limitation of the rate of metabolic reaction by diffusion of enzymes and their reactants, and to regulate the rate of particular biochemical processes.

Often this can be computed efficiently via difference formulae. Solving the Newton iteration formula in this manner, the result is a Jacobian-Free Newton-Krylov (JFNK ...
