Abstract
Protein synthesis, or rather the concentration changes of particular proteins, may be essential for the functioning of the circadian clock (1). Evidence for this statement has been derived from phase-shifting effects by pulses of antibiotics that inhibit the 80 S-ribosome dependent protein synthesis of the dinoflagellate, Gonyaulax polyedra (2,3) and other organisms. From this type of evidence, working hypotheses about the role of proteins in a circadian oscillator have been proposed that rely on negative feed back of a protein species on its own synthesis rate (4,5).
