Generation

Gene expression regulation controls when and how much protein is produced from a gene through mechanisms at transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and post-translational levels. The central dogma follows: **DNA → RNA → Protein**, where regulation can occur at each step. Key control points include transcription factors binding to promoters, RNA stability and processing, and protein degradation rates. The rate of protein production can be approximated by: **d[Protein]/dt = k_translation[mRNA] - k_degradation[Protein]**, where the steady-state protein level depends on the balance between synthesis and degradation.
