Q

Two things needs to breakdown of lactose

A

CAP (catabolite activating protein)

  • Have to have for transcription b-galactosidase
  • only present w/ absent glucose

Lac repressor protein

  • alway bound unless lactose present
  • allolactase binds repressor changes its shape prevents from binding DNA
