Catabolite translational effects on the lac messenger RNA of Escherichia coli K12
The transcriptional and translational events occurring during the induction of the lac operon, were separated by blocking the translational step, either by aminoacid starvation or by addition of chloramphenicol. It was found that the carbon source used during the subsequent translation, affected the...

The transcriptional and translational events occurring during the induction of the lac operon, were separated by blocking the translational step, either by aminoacid starvation or by addition of chloramphenicol.
