Cell lysis and Lowry assay for 2D electrophoresis

... cell lysis. I know that Lowry assay is not reducing agent compatible, but the DTT concentration in this 2D buffer is 50mM. Do you think it will interfere with the Lowry assay? 3)I assume I can't use Bradford assay here since I am using a detergent, CHAPS. Thanks a lot for your help.

Multiple genes cloning

... Theoretically, you can put all three genes under the control of the constitutive plant promoters, however, I have no idea whether or not they will interfere with the normal cell function (I know that antibiotic resistance genes will not). Do you need to isolate those proteins???
