Background. IPTG (isopropyl beta-D-thiogalactoside) Inducer for Beta-Galactosidase Expression acts as a molecular mimic of a lactose metabolite. The presence of IPTG triggers the activation of the lac operon for downstream gene transcription due to its binding the lac repressor.Due to the presence of a sulfur atom in IPTG, the cells cannot degrade the inducer and therefore its concentration remains constant.IPTG (isopropyl beta-D-thiogalactoside) Inducer for Beta-Galactosidase Expression is ideal for investigators in Immunology, Cell Biology, and Microbiology research.he presence of IPTG triggers the activation of the lac operon for downstream gene transcription due to its binding the lac repressor.

At 216 meters (709 feet), the bungee jump off the Bloukrans Bridge just outside Storms River, South Africa is the highest commercially operated bungee bridge in the world.So of course I had to do it.Bloukrans Bridge-The Highest Bungee Bridge in the World.Bungee Jumping at Bloukrans was somewhat of an impulse decision. After passing up the opportunity to bungee at Victoria Falls, I was somewhat contemplating bungee jumping in South Africa prior to arrival. We were driving from Jeffreys Bay to Knysna that day. 7 ] February 21, 2012 | patwilsonIV. At 216 meters (709 feet), the bungee jump off the Bloukrans Bridge just outside Storms River, South Africa is the highest commercially operated bungee bridge in the world.

The Bloukrans Bridge is an arch bridge located near Nature's Valley, Western Cape, South Africa. Constructed between February 1980 and June 1983, the bridge stands at a height of 216m above the Bloukrans River. Its central span is 272m and the bridge is 451m in length in total. Its primary use is that of a road bridge, carrying national route N2. Bloukrans Bridge is the site of the worlds highest commercial bungee jumping, Bloukrans Bridge Bungy, operated by Face Adrenalin since 1997. The Bloukrans River below forms the border between the Eastern Cape and Western Cape provinces and is located in the Tsitsikamma region of the Garden Route.
