Enzyme alkaline is phosphatase-conjugated to antibodies recognizing the DIG reporter group. The enzyme cleaves phosphate from substrate CDP-Star that saturate the entire membrane. Light is emitted at the site where telomeric DNA is hybridized to the probe. Light is recorded on photographic film. How many photons are emitted after alkaline phosphatase cleave phosphate from a single CDP-star molecule?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Studying techniques such as chemiluminescence in molecular biology is important because it allows us to detect and measure biological molecules and their interactions in a sensitive and specific manner. This can aid in our understanding of the basic mechanisms governing biological processes including pathways for signaling, protein interactions, and gene expression.
