Lecture, chapter 09 - Gene regulation in prokaryotes

Today we lectured for a little over one hour, as a replacement for the lab we could not do, because of not having transformed bacteria to "play" with.

We finished chapter 9 on gene regulation in prokaryotes. We discussed the concepts of positive and negative regulation, including the role of (specific) activators and repressors, and global regulators. We studied how the Lac operon works in E. coli, and set the stage for starting with gene regulation in eukaryotes.
