I recently mentioned a study reporting circadian oscillations of bacterial clock-proteins KaiA, KaiB and KaiC in a dish with no transcription and translation whatsoever - the oscillations being due entirely to polymerization of proteins. Now, a mathematical model of this system has also been published describing how the working of the system is possible.
