INTRODUCTION TO
E-CELL
•E-CELL is a generic software which
provides an environment
for whole cell simulation.
•E-CELL is a modelling and computer
simulation environment for
biochemical
and genetic processes.
•The E-CELL system allows a user to define
cellular metabolism,
as
a set of reaction rules.
•E-CELL simulates cell behaviour by numerically
integrating the
differential equations described implicitly in these reaction rules.
