@@vevenaneathna nah mate. youtube is an invaluable resource for us college students to review the basics so that we can understand the higher level stuff from our lectures then

you just compressed 3 of my agonizing lectures into 11 minutes and now i've understood it all. You are my hero.

[@raanoooshh9296]

Thanks for this video! Great explanation! One thing to add for those who are curious is that when glucose levels are high the RNA-polymerase will bind to a promoter (not the same promoter) and transcribe a gene that codes for a repressor so that in turn can bind to the operator and stop transcription of the beta-galactosidase (LacZ) since we don't need to metabolize lactose.

Thank You Khan Academy, What took Hours of Learning you taught in 11 minutes, Thanks!

This is so much better than trying to read from the Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry textbook. I read every word about the lac operon, but did not understand any of it until this video. THANK YOU

[@vendetta2545]

I would like to point out that the Operon is activated when glucose is absent and lactose is present. If glucose and lactose are present, the repressor would still remain bound

[@joelgriffith2474]

Sal you are a life saver.

[@ruksanathaj3884]

U r saving me everytime😌no other videos satisfies me in studying

[@FreeSkillsStyle]

To sum up, when there is no glucose and lactose is present, the catabolite activator protein with high cAMP will bind to the CAP site, therefore enabling transcription(the body needs energy) while if there is glucose and lactose, the system prefers glucose over lactose and will not transcribe. The catabolite activator protein will not bind since it already has a lot of cAMP, here the lac operon acts as an regulatory sequence of gene responsible for protein synthesis. The glucose inhibits the production of cAMP(cAMP are derivatives of ATP) which makes sense since there is already a lot of energy.

[@lisastephan4139]

OMG. Thank you so much! I can't believe how much better you are explaining that then my uni lecturer! I mean even in english (I am from Germany) I can easily understand what u are talking about. You saved me. Hopefully trp will be as good as this video. =) Keep going'! Best Regards

[@bushrasyed1638]

is CAP site the regulatory gene???

[@rylbarb3981]

my professor said lac operon is not turned on in presense of glucose until glucose has been used up?

[@lateshagibson497]

Omgggg this is soooo helpful!!

[@sajaaltaie394]

THIS. IS. AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!

[@z.k.1556]

But prokaryotic cells do not have CAP sites in their operons? Isn't it only found in eukaryotic genes?
