Operon System

Today we learned about the operon system, because it is related to both the lab and protein synthesis. The operon system controls protein synthesis and signals when it should start and stop. This is only in prokaryotes. There are two types, repressible, which goes from on to off, and inducible which goes from off to on. Repressible represses the ability to make a protein until it is turned off. Inducible induces protein synthesis when turned on.
