共催:学術変革領域研究(B)「時間タンパク質学」

There are various time scales in biology such as longevity, seasonal responses, circadian rhythmicity, developmental processes, cell division cycles, and heartbeats. In other words, living organisms consists of different time scales. What are the mechanisms for measuring “time” that correspond to each event at different time scale? This symposium is co-organized with Transformative Research Areas (B) "Chronoproteinology". We will focus on proteins responsible for molecular mechanisms that directly regulate time information. The physical properties and dynamics of proteins could generate “time” on various time scales as autonomous protein oscillators. The dynamics includes protein-protein interactions, post-translational modifications, enzymatic activities, and conformational changes.
