Take, for instance, the new voice portals. These are being billed as the equivalent of Web portals--those gateway, one-site-fits-all Web addresses like Yahoo, Excite and Snap. Instead of sitting at a computer and tapping websites that serve as hubs for news, weather and sports updates, with...
Of course, no one knows for sure whether Arkin or anyone else will be able to develop a working computer model of the cell. But it's the sort of project that could keep scientists busy for another 100 years.
Biologists have spent much of the past century taking cells apart to figure out what makes them tick. Adam Arkin, 33, a physical chemist who divides his time between the University of California, Berkeley, and the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, wants to put the pieces back together again. His goal...
It's a daunting task. A single enzyme in a liver cell may be controlled by as many as 14 different regulatory processes. Multiply that by thousands of interconnected chemical reactions operating simultaneously in billions of cells, and you've got one incredibly complex system. But Arkin knows that computer...
Enter a computer program called SPICE (simulation program for integrated circuit evaluation), which was developed at the University of California, Berkeley, in the 1970s. SPICE allowed engineers to analyze their electronic circuits and predict, more or less accurately, how they would work before they were built. There would always be...
