The studies of Palade and colleagues used pulse chase labeling with radioactively labeled amino acids and auto radiography to visualize the location of newly synthesized proteins in pancreatic acinar cells. These early experiments provided invaluable information on protein synthesis and intercompartmental transport. New methods have replaced these early approaches, but two basic requirements are still necessary for any assay to study this type of protein transport. What are they, and how do recent experimental approaches meet these criteria?

Osmosis

In simple words, osmosis is the slow, gradual movement of a liquid through a membrane. But there are nuances to this process. For instance, there has to be an imbalance in the distribution of solute in the liquid on either side of the membrane, which has to be semipermeable. The liquid in the region with a lower solute concentration moves to the region with a higher concentration, thereby displacing the solution in the process. The objective is to equalize the concentration of molecules on both sides of the membrane; the displacement of liquid can be viewed as a byproduct of this equalization. Since there is no energy required to carry osmosis, it is considered a passive process.
