A repressor protein is a type of protein that inhibits gene expression by binding to an operator site and blocking transcription.
Inducer Molecule: This molecule interacts with repressors to dislodge them from DNA, allowing transcription to proceed.
Negative Gene Regulation: This refers to regulatory mechanisms that stop or slow down gene expression.
Transcription Factor Binding Site: This is where proteins known as transcription factors bind to regulate gene expression.
