Operon

Operon is a term that describes a group of closely related genes responsible for the production of enzymes in our body. This group of genes includes two types of genes: structural genes and operator genes. Structural genes lead to the synthesis of proteins that perform various functions in our body, while operator genes regulate the functioning of structural genes.

One example of a group of genes linked to each other is opiates. This is a group of drugs derived from the opium plant. This group consists of such strong substances as morphine, papaverine, diamorphine and codeine. Although opiates are known

Introduction Operons are one of the fundamental concepts of molecular biology and gene regulation. The concept of an operon was introduced in 1950 by Moriah Fleischman and Kornberg. It refers to the regulation of gene expression in a cell, which can occur through the control of transcripts, transcripts, and translation of mRNA into corresponding proteins. In this article we will look at the concept of operons, their components and function in the regulation of protein synthesis. In addition, we will present a group of drugs based on opioid peptides, a derivative of the most important of them - morphine, that is, heroin.
