Chance and Necessity: An Essay on the Natural Philosophy of Modern Biology'' by Jacques Monod, New York, Alfred A. Knopf, 1971, Monod and Jacob became famous for their work on the '' E. coli'' ''lac'' operon, which encodes proteins necessary for the transport and breakdown of the sugar lactose (lac). 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 proteins, such as the ones encoded within the ''lac'' (lactose) operon, is prevented when a repressor, 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.
