One basic way that gene expression can be controlled by regulating transcription. In prokaryotes, our basic understanding of how transcriptional control of gene expression began with Jacob and Monod's 1961 model of the Lac operon. Recently, attempts have been made to model operon systems in order to understand the dynamics of these feedback systems. In the present study, it was independently attempted to model the Lac operon, based on the molecules and their activities on the lac operon of an E. coli. By various ways and means in engineering, a flow chart on the metabolic pathway of the lac operon activities of the E. coli was established.
