Description
Mathematical modeling of a living cell is a great challenge
for modern science. The
creation of integrated model of eukaryotic cell is the aim
of the Mathematical Cell
(MathCell) project (http://www.mathcell.ru) realized at the
Institute of Mathematical
Problems of Biology RAS during the EGEE Project. It includes
3D interactive living
cell model, encyclopedia on mathematical modeling of cell
and software for modeling
of basic processes in living cell. Within the limits of the
Project the interactive
environment was developed, which allows to perform
calculations of some mathematical
models in GRID infrastructure. Further development of the
MathCell project implies
integration of individual components of the model into a
program system which would
simulate cell processes at different levels – from
microscopic to macroscopic scales
and from picoseconds to the cell lifetimes. Such modeling
will allow ones to solve a
number of practical problems, for example, acceleration of
development of novel drugs
and of prediction of their direct and mediated action,
development of thin
biochemical agents which will influence on metabolic
reactions in the organism.
Besides such model will be useful by development various
nanostructures and
nanomaterials - in the most advanced researches which are
having for an object
creation nanorobots which at a cellular level will work with
a view of medicine and
preventive maintenance of illnesses. This work will
naturally require combining of
resources provided by EGEE-II Project and their merging into
an integrated
computational environment.
