RS Configuration 

Atoms of higher atomic number rank above those of lower atomic number (e.g., —OH ranks above —CH3). If the first substituent atoms are identical, the priority is established by the next atom outward from the chiral center (e.g., —CH2OH takes precedence over —CH3).

Negative control of the lac operon. 

No lactose; repression. The lacI gene produces repressor, which binds to the operator and blocks RNA polymerase from transcribing the lac genes.
