2D Gel Assay for Correct Folding
of Pancreatic Enzymes in RM
RER sequestration & proteolytic processing required for formation of
disulfide bonds & correct conformational maturation
Correctly folded pancreatic enzymes require correct disulfide bond formation to
appear as distinct spots in 2D gel (Panels b, c & d).
Despite correct redox potential, presecretory proteins do not form SS bonds and
migrate in distinct spots (Panel a)
