5. Assume that you are trying to do a gel mobility shift experiment using a normal set of Trp genes. Lane i has just a DNA fragment containing the tryptophan promoter and operator sequences. Lane 2 has the same fragment along with normal (functional) TrpR protein. Lane 3 has the same fragment, normal TrpR protein, and tryptophan. Which electrophoretic pattern is correct for this experiment?
