The Salvador E. Luria Papers

Title:

Letter from Salvador E. Luria to Arthur B. Pardee

Description:

Here, Luria responds to an inquiry by Pardee, who--along with Francois Jacob and Jacque Monod--had just one year earlier shown that the enzyme beta-galactosidase is induced by changes in culture conditions. It was the first example of negative control of induction due to a repressor protein. This discovery set the stage for additional experiments that further delineated the interaction of a regulatory protein with a site on DNA that controls expression of other genes. With this letter, Luria also enclosed a copy of his 1949 article with Rene Dulbecco.
