"...the model
contains 50 different types of the most abundant macromolecules
of the E. coli cytoplasm (accounting for ~85% of the cytoplasm’s
characterized protein content by weight [12]) and a total of 1008
individual molecules. Eight of these molecules are copies of the
heterologous (non-E. coli) protein GFP (Green Fluorescent
Protein), which has been included so that the diffusional
characteristics of the model can be compared with in vivo
experimental results (see below). A snapshot of the modeled
system, together with a full listing of its constituents, is shown in
