#Id: 6406

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization

Attenuator riboswitch (Leader sequence) region 1 is translated  till UGA (R1-2) at high trp concentration due to two conditions

 Ribosome quickly crosses codon 10, 11

After crossing codon 10, 11 ribosome prematurely terminated at UGA at the end of Region 1
