Describe the methodology employed when antibodies are used to detect proteins
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Antibody-protein binding is a highly specific interaction and therefore requires a particular antibody to be used for each specific type of protein. Additional enzymes, fluorescent chemicals, or radioisotopes are needed to quantify this antibody binding interaction (protein presence).
