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.

In 1932, when the Sydney Harbour Bridge was opened, it was the longest single span steel arch bridge in the world. The main span is 503 meters (1,650 feet) across it consumed more than 52,800 tonnes of silicon based steel trusses.The plates of steel are held together by around 6 million steel rivets.he design was similar to New York's Hell Gate Bridge built 1916. The Hell Gate Bridge was a little shorter in span but was much lighter in construction as it only carried four railway tracks. Work first began on the Sydney Harbour Bridge in 1924, with construction of the bridge approaches and the approach spans.
