The core circadian oscillator of cyanobacteria consists of three proteins, KaiA, KaiB, and KaiC. This circadian oscillator could be functionally reconstituted in vitro with these three proteins, and therefore has been a very important model in circadian rhythm research. KaiA can bind to KaiC and then stimulate its phosphorylation, but their interaction mechanism remains elusive. In this study, ...

Molecular clockwork from cyanobacteria The cyanobacterial circadian clock oscillator can be reconstituted in a test tube from just three proteins—KaiA, KaiB, and KaiC—and adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Tseng et al. studied crystal and nuclear magnetic resonance structures of complexes of the oscillator proteins and their signaling output proteins and tested the in vivo effects of structure-based...

of any wireless communications system. Due to their low cost, design simplicity and ease in practical implementation, for example, MOSFET-based oscillators are widely used in modern wireless handset applications. This three-part tutorial highlights the basics of the oscillator circuit design, setting the relationships between the start-up and steadystate operating modes and the device equivalen...
