From: Characterization of the pigmented shell-forming proteome of the common grove snail Cepaea nemoralis
Representative polymorphic shells of C. nemoralis surveyed for their protein contents. A–C. Examples of the three main shell types we surveyed for both shell-forming proteins and protein-associated pigments D. In order to identify pigment-associated proteins C. nemoralis shells were crushed and divided into one of three pigmented fractions for subsequent proteomic analyses. With this approach, differentially localized proteins would be visible on LDS-PAGE gels.
