KaiC phosphorylation and dephosphorylation cycle for the cyanobacteria circadian clock. Phosphorylation of Ser431 is denoted by the orange circle, whereas phosphorylation of Thr432 is denoted by the green circle. Flexibility of the CII rings was inferred from NMR signal broadening analysis and reflects primarily changes in μs-ms protein motions.
