'''Circadian clock proteins''' measure out the 24 hour circadian rhythm.  In cyanobacteria protein KaiA<ref>PMID:15007067</ref> stimulates KaiC<ref>PMID:15304218</ref> which adds phosphate groups to itself.  Then KaiC binds to KaiB<ref>PMID:15716247</ref> which inactivates KaiA and causes the number of phosphate groups on KaiC to drop slowly.  KaiB disconnects allowing KaiA to start the cycle again.<ref>PMID:11687489</ref>  For details of KaiC see [[Circadian Clock Protein KaiC]].
