From this paper, the so-called general theory of the operon was developed.

Operon is the third British drug disaster in a generation.

All of the enzymes are coded for on the his operon.

The regulatory gene does not need to be in, adjacent to, or even near the operon.

The operon must respond to changes in the metabolic state of the cell.

The result of this is that the genes contained in the operon are either expressed together or not at all.

The lactose operon is one example of an inducible system.

According to its authors, the term "operon" means "to operate".

Operon - a genetic unit for coordinating expression of different genes.

In all cases so far, one gene belongs to only one operon.

This should apply even if the incoming genes all coexist as an operon.

Ribulose 5-phosphate 4-epimerase is found on the well studied L-arabinose operon.

In fact, the lactose operon system is a bistable switch.

Both proteins are encoded on the same operon within the bacterial genome.

Its precise function as part of the lac operon is not understood currently.

The Lac operon is an interesting example of how gene expression can be regulated.

Each subunit pair is located on its own operon.

The first natural gene circuit studied in detail was the lac operon.

Its operon is an example of a prokaryotic silencer.

Each of the individual genes in the tra operon codes for a different protein product.

An operon is the set of one or several genes and their associated regulatory elements, which are transcribed as a single unit.

An operon is, therefore, a group of one or more contiguous genes transcribed in the same direction.

The general structural information shown below was observed from the sequence of the trp operon.

Several genes must be both co-transcribed and co-regulated to define an operon.

Operon regulation can be either negative or positive by induction or repression.
