The control of gene expression in eukaryotes is more complex than that in prokaryotes. In general, a greater number of regulatory proteins are involved, and regulatory binding sites may be located ...

While slower, eukaryotic protein synthesis provides a higher degree of regulation than prokaryotic systems, allowing for precise control of gene expression and protein production. Eukaryotic ...

regulation of gene expression by transcription factors is said to be combinatorial, in that it requires the coordinated interactions of multiple proteins (in contrast to prokaryotes, in which a ...

Beginning with this issue, we will take a look at expression vectors available for prokaryotic systems, particularly E. coli. This series will continue in later issues and will take a look at what the ...
