Question
The trp operon in E. coli encodes enzymes essential for the biosynthesis of tryptophan.
In the
operon, trpR gene encodes the repressor. A trpR repressor cannot bind tryptophan.
The trpO is the operator. trpA encodes the enzyme tryptophan synthetase. For the
enzyme (A), indicate with a + or-whether or not it is made when there is tryptophan and
when there is no tryptophan.
