| Research Abstract |
We encapsulated nano-sized clock protein KaiA, KaiB, KaiC, which are elements derived from the biological clock of cyanobacteria, in phospholipid-coated microdroplets. And then, we have successfully detected its activity. As a result, the period length became 35 hr. From the observation of protein localization by fluorescence-label, it is suggested that this long-period was caused by Kai protein localization.
