Document Summary

Posttranslational modifications includes folding, the addition of carbohydrates or lipid groups or phosphorylation. The flow of information from dna to protein suggests 3 possible mechanisms of regulation: avoid making mrna. If there is no mrna then ribosomes cannot make the gene product. Transcriptional control occurs when regulatory proteins affect rna polymerase"s ability to bind to a promoter and initiate transcription: prevent mrna from being translated into protein. Some proteins are manufactures in an inactive form and have to be activated by chemical modification. Translational control is advantageous because it allows a cell to make rapid chanes in the relative amounts of different proteins. Posttranslational control is significant because it provides the most rapid response of all 3 mechanisms. Transcriptional control is slow but efficient in resource use; posttranslational control is fast but energetically expensive. Lactose is a disaccharide made up of one molecule of glucose and one molecule of galactose.
