Structure of Lac Operon in E Coli | Genetics

In this article we will discuss about the structure of lac operon in E. coli. The lac operon comprises three structural genes (z, y & a) and produces a polycistronic mRNA (Lac mRNA). This messenger RNA codes for β-galactosidase, lac permease and transacetylase. The lac permease is a single unit protein that acts as a carrier for the entrance of [...]
