The activation and inactivation mechanisms of a key protein involved in the circadian clock system of cyanobacteria -- an important organism in the evolution of such internal clocks -- have long ...

Molecular clocks in our cells synchronize our bodies with the cycle of night and day, cue us for sleep and waking, and drive daily cycles in virtually every aspect of our physiology. Scientists ...

Most biochemical reactions accelerate as temperature increases, but our daily circadian rhythms, which are underlain by gene regulatory and biochemical networks, remain constant, even as temperatures ...

Cyanobacteria, an ancient lineage of bacteria that perform photosynthesis, have been found to regulate their genes using the same physics principle used in AM radio transmission. Cyanobacteria, an ...
