#Question id: 2864


In E. coli, the five contiguoustrp genes encode enzymes that sythesize the amino acid tryptophan. These genes are expressed efficiently only when tryptophan is limiting. The genes are controlled by a repressor, just as the lac genes are, although in this case, it is the absence of its ligand (tryptophan) that relieves repression, match trp genes to their gene product,
