Definitions:

Repressible Operon

An operon that is normally active, but can be controlled by a repressor protein, which becomes active when it binds to a corepressor; the active repressor binds to the operator, making the operon transcriptionally inactive. Compare with inducible operon.

Inactive Repressor

A protein that does not suppress gene expression, often because it has not been activated by a specific signal or molecule.

Precursor Product

A relationship in biochemical processes where a precursor molecule is transformed into a product through metabolic reactions.

Gene Expression

The process by which information from a gene is used to synthesize functional gene products, often proteins, which can affect the traits of an organism.
