Bacteria circadian clock protein molecule
Bacteria circadian clock protein molecule. Computer model showing the molecular structure of the KaiC protein found in cyanobacteria (blue-green algae). KaiC is a protein expressed by the kaiC gene and is one of three such proteins that are essential for circadian rhythms in these bacteria. Circadian rhythms are biological clocks with a period close to 24 hours in duration that help regulate sleeping and feeding patterns in animals. In bacteria, they are thought to help regulate cell division

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of the KaiC protein, a vital component in cyanobacteria's circadian clock. In this computer-generated model, set against a striking black background, we are presented with an artistic representation of the protein that governs biological clocks in these blue-green algae. The KaiC protein is expressed by the kaiC gene and works alongside two other proteins to regulate circadian rhythms in bacteria. These internal timekeepers play a crucial role in maintaining sleep-wake cycles and feeding patterns in animals, with their duration closely aligned to 24 hours. The image beautifully captures the complexity of this tiny molecule, highlighting its importance within bacterial cell division regulation. Through proteomics and biochemical studies, scientists have unraveled its tertiary structure and crystal arrangement. Every atom is meticulously depicted as part of this space-filled molecular model, offering insights into how it functions at a microscopic level. This illustration not only appeals to biology enthusiasts but also attracts those interested in bacteriology and biochemistry. Science Photo Library has expertly crafted this artwork that seamlessly blends scientific accuracy with aesthetic appeal. It serves as a reminder of our ongoing exploration into the fascinating world of microorganisms while showcasing the beauty found within their hidden structures.
