- From their own work and the work of others, they came up with a model for how the levels of some proteins in a cell are controlled.
- In their model, the manufacture of a set of related proteins, such as the ones encoded within the lac operon, is prevented when a repressor protein, encoded by a regulatory gene, binds to its operator, a specific site in the DNA sequence that is close to the genes encoding the proteins.
