Trp operon (redirect from Tryptophan operon) bacteria. The operon is regulated so that, when tryptophan is present in the environment, the genes for tryptophan synthesis are repressed. The trp operon contains... 21 KB (2,606 words) - 03:19, 19 April 2024 |
Fluorescence spectroscopy (redirect from Tryptophan fluorescence spectroscopy) In addition, tryptophan is a relatively rare amino acid; many proteins contain only one or a few tryptophan residues. Therefore, tryptophan fluorescence... 21 KB (2,712 words) - 17:22, 30 December 2023 |
