Cyano-bacteria obtain energy from photosynthesis. To optimize their life processes and energy production during the illuminated portion of the day, they utilize a circadian system. The animation presents a simplified view of the protein-protein interactions in the cyano-bacterial circadian system using the PDB structures 5n8y and 2gbl. Read the Molecule of the Month on Circadian Clock Proteins to learn how they measure time in our cells.

About PDB-101

Researchers around the globe make 3D structures freely available from the Protein Data Bank (PDB) archive. PDB-101 training materials help graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, and researchers use PDB data and RCSB PDB tools. Outreach content demonstrate how PDB data impact fundamental biology, biomedicine, bioengineering/biotechnology, and energy sciences in 3D for a diverse and multidisciplinary user community. Education Materials provide lessons and activities for teaching and learning.

PDB-101 is developed by the RCSB PDB.
