Circadian clock is a basic mechanism of living organism to coordinate its metabolism with daily environmental alteration of the earth. We reconstituted circadian oscillation by mixing three Kai proteins and ATP in a test tube.

We will elucidate a sub-molecular mechanism of Kai protein to tick time precisely. We also address how this protein oscillator is integrated with cellular system and functions inside cyanobacteria cells as accurate clock.
