Gene Regulation: Operon Theory
This text discusses inducible and repressible operons, prokaryotic gene regulation, regulation by repression, the global responses of prokaryotes, additional methods of regulation in bacteria ( attenuation and riboswitches), and other factors affecting gene expression in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
