``E-CELL, a modeling and simulation environment for biochemical and genetic processes has been developed. The E-CELL system allows a user to define functions of proteins, protein-protein interactions, protein-DNA interactions, regulation of gene expression and other features of cellular metabolism, as a set of reaction rules. E-CELL simulates cell behavior by numerically integrating the differential equations described implicitly in these reaction rules. The user can observe, through a computer display, dynamic changes in concentrations of proteins, protein complexes and other chemical compounds in the cell. Using this software, we constructed a model of a hypothetical cell with only 127 genes sufficient for transcription, translation, energy production and phospholipid synthesis. Most of the genes are taken from Mycoplasma genitalium, the organism having the smallest known chromosome, whose complete 580kb genome sequence was determined at TIGR in 1995. We discuss future applications of the E-CELL system with special respect to genome engineering.''

question

Submitted by Nobody ; posted on Friday, June 27, 2003

1. Does E-Cell act exactly like real cell when it is under an unexpected condition-what we've not examine yet-? 2. Can E-cell develop itself? (If anyone want to reply, please mail to me: evaliker@hanmail.net Thank you.)
