Reconstitution of an intact clock that generates circadian DNA binding in vitro

The paper reconstitutes a cyanobacterial circadian clock in vitro to study its control over gene expression and provides a platform for synthetic biology.

Structural mimicry confers robustness in the cyanobacterial circadian clock

The paper shows SasA regulates circadian clock robustness in cyanobacteria by structurally mimicking KaiB to modulate protein complex assembly.
