Question
The dlagram below represents the tryptophan operon with the trp leader MRNA transcript enlarged to represent the AUG transiation start codon, two consecutive tryptophan amino acld codons (UGGUGG), and 4
regions (1, 2, 3, and 4) that base pair to form different hairpin-loop structures in the MRNA leader region. What would happen in this MRNA leader region when cells encounter very low levels of tryptophan in Its
environment?
