In the lactose operon, the lac repressor binds to the operator and does NOT allow RNA polymerase to bind to the promotor. Allolactose reduces the affinity of the repressor for the lac operator by binding and changing its conformation. Thus, addition of lactose or a synthetic inducer stimulates the transcription of the lac operon structural genes.
Synthetic inducers are called gratuitous inducers because
