Circadian rhythm that is. Thanks to 2017 Nobel Prize Winners

in Physiology and Medicine Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash,

and Michael W. Young, we know that our biological clock

plays an important role in our metabolism, body temp., sleep,

behaviour, and hormone levels.

So, that all-nighter you pulled last week to study for Biochem

2280? Its probably not going to knock you off beat. But, too

many all-nighters/late nights will take a toll on your biological

clock, which may lead to an increased risk for various diseas-

es.

How does it work?

Hall, Rosbash and Young discovered a gene that controls the

expression a protein called PER. The concentration of PER

depletes during the day, and is restored at night. As their work

expanded, the laureates discovered more genes (TIM, DBT)

and their relationships to our circadian clock, filling out the

melody that has become known as our circadian rhythm. Who

could ask for anything more?
