Abstract

Comprehensive data about the composition and structure of cellular components have enabled the construction of quantitative whole-cell models. While kinetic network–type models have been established, it is also becoming possible to build physical, molecular-level models of cellular environments. This review outlines challenges in constructing and simulating such models and discusses near- and long-term opportunities for developing physical whole-cell models that can connect molecular structure with biological function.
