Biological rhythms: The suspended animation clock
Abstract
A circadian clock can be reconstituted in a test tube using three minimal components from cyanobacteria. A new study has extended this result to include output kinases and a transcription factor. One implication is that the circadian clock may have evolved to function even in a non-growing cell.
