Enabling Grids for E-sciencE INFSO-RI Future development of MathCell In the near future IMPB RAS is planning to deploy in EGEE a software tool to calculate a charge transfer along electron transport chain in mitochondria of eukaryotic cells through direct simulation of charge transfer with regard to the detailed structure of biomembranes containing various molecular complexes. Next on the agenda is a software tool to calculate metabolic reaction pathways in compartments of a cell as well as the dynamics of gene networks. Further development of the MathCell project implies integration of individual components of the model into an integrated program system which would enable modeling of cell processes at all levels – from microscopic to macroscopic scales and from picoseconds to the scales comparable with the cell lifetime. Such modeling will naturally require combining of computational and commutation resources provided by EGEE project and their merging into an integrated computational medium.
