A DNA region at one end of an operon that acts as the binding site for repressor protein. A DNA sequence that is recognized by a repressor protein or repressor-corepressor complex. When the operator is complexed with the repressor, ...

Operators and levels of abstraction
To begin with, the usage of operator in mathematics is subsumed in the usage of function: an operator can be taken to be some special kind of function.

Operator
Main article operator (biology).
An operator is a segment of DNA that regulates the activity of the structural genes of an operon it is linked to, by interacting with a specific repressor or activator.

Operator
The term introduced by Jacob, Perrin, Sanchez and Monod (1960) for the site at one end of an operon where a repressor molecule binds to the DNA and thereby inhibits transcription.

Operator. A prokaryotic regulatory element that interacts with a repressor to control the transcription of adjacent structural genes.
Organelle. A cell structure that carries out a specialized function in the life of a cell.

Modal operators like possibility and impossibility have propositions in their scope. What is possible or impossible is not the event or fact, but the proposition related to them.

One of the first modifications to Angel allows the operator to use a slide bar to vary the contrast of the displayed image. Another enhancement is the automatic display of both the normal gel lanes as well as the special marker lanes.

As early as 1962, John Holland's work on adaptive systems laid the foundation for later developments; most notably, Holland was also the first to explicitly propose crossover and other recombination operators.

An operon consists of an operator, promoter, regulator, and structural genes. The regulator gene codes for a repressor protein that binds to the operator, obstructing the promoter (thus, transcription) of the structural genes.

The region of DNA where the repressor protein binds is the operator site. The promoter site is a region of DNA where RNA polymerase can bind. The entire unit (promoter, operator, and genes) is an operon.
