Lecture, chapter 9 - Gene regulation in prokaryotes

Today we discussed the the stages within transcription at which gene expression can be regulated, whether it is via positive or negative regulation.

We also discussed the role inducers play in causing a change in shape of activators (a.k.a. transcription factors) and repressors, as well as the role of global and specific regulators in gene expression (including the concept of regulon)
