Research Abstract |
Many organisms possess circadian clock, which allow them to regulate their biological activity with a 24-hour period. In this study, I analyzed the dual-oscillatory system of cyanobacterial circadian clock. The results suggests that temporal change of KaiC-containing protein complex is probably important process to control the gene expressions rhythm in the absent of KaiC phosphorylation rhythm.
