The structural genes of the trp operon are transcribed when a ribosome stalls at the Trp codons in the leader peptide coding region, when a ribosome can synthesize the complete leader peptide, when formation of the terminator loop is possible, or when the cell contains high levels of Trp-tRNATrp molecules.

'In the trp operon, tryptophan is best characterized as being a: A repressor B. inducer corepressor D DNA-binding domain'
Nicholas M.
For the trp operon: a. tryptophan is an inducer. b. when tryptophan binds to the Trp repressor, transcription is blocked. c. Trp repressor is synthesized in an active form. d. low levels of tryptophan bind to the trp operator and block transcription of the tryptophan biosynthesis genes. e. high levels of tryptophan activate RNA polymerase and induce transcription.
