Summary:
This book describes the history and present knowledge of a
paradigmatic system, the lac operon of E. coli. The first part of the
book presents the history of the operon and various schools of
thought regarding genetic control in general. The second part
presents a number of false interpretations and misconceptions and
demonstrates how easily a scientist may deceive himself. The third
and last part thoroughly covers the current state of knowledge of the
lac operon including the importance of the auxiliary operators and
discussions of several X-ray structures, one of which was published
shortly before this book went into press. A unique combination of
personal anecdotes and present-day science makes this book appealing
to students, postdocs, active and retired researchers alike.
