Abstract excerpt
Cyanobacteria are among the simplest organisms that show daily rhythmicity. Their circadian rhythms consist of the localization, interaction, and accumulation of various proteins, including KaiA, KaiB, KaiC, and SasA. We have determined the 1.9-angstroms resolution crystallographic structure of t...
