ABOUT THIS PRODUCT:
Teach gene regulation with our easy to make model!
The trp operon consists of 5 genes the bacteria E. coli needs to make the amino acid tryptophan. The genes make the proteins needed for 3 enzymes and these genes are "on" by default but switched "off" when tryptophan is present to save energy.
Your students will make a model of the trp operon and use it to see how bacteria are able to control these genes. The model covers the trp repressor, RNA polymerase, operator, promoter and the trpA, trpB, trpC, trpD and trpE genes and their products.
Takes about 30 minutes to make!
Origami Organelles are downloadable paper models that you print and make as many times as you like! When you purchase a model, you are licensed for unlimited use on a single site or campus.
