General
ori
-35bp -10bp
• Short half-time
• Definitions:
- operator (O): a gene that can be effected by a repressor protein
- operon: structural genes with the same repressor
• mRNA
• ribosomes
• tRNA + aa tRNAaa (attached aa)
• different factors
• enzymes
• energy
tRNA
• DNA-genes: - Linear tRNA form (primary)
• Initiation: -a complex of
- 30S subunit,
- f-meth-tRNA, (start codon AUG in mRNA)
- mRNA and
- initiation factors are formed
• 3 bases - 1 aa
