Lecture, chapters 7 and 9 - Protein structure and function & Gene regulation in prokaryotes

Today we finished chapter 7, on protein structure and function. We discussed the main structural motifs found in DNA-binding proteins, and talked about protein denaturation.

We also started covering chapter 9, on gene regulation on prokaryotes, focusing on regulation at the transcription level. We discussed the importance of gene regulation and some of the key players involved in the process.
