Lac Operon and Trp Operon - Regulator, Promotor, Operator - A Comprehensive Explanation from A to Z

Explore the intricacies of gene expression control in prokaryotes through a comprehensive explanation of the Lac (Lactose) and Trp (Tryptophan) operons. Delve into the roles of regulators, promoters, and operators in these systems. Learn about the bacteria's preference for glucose as an energy source and how they switch to lactose metabolism when glucose is scarce. Understand the structure and function of operons, including the regulator, promoter, operator, repressor, co-repressor, catabolite activator protein (CAP), and structural genes. Differentiate between the negative inducible system of the lac operon and the negative repressible system of the trp operon. Gain insights into the differences between negative and positive control mechanisms in gene expression.
