It doesn't appear to be ab initio simulated (e.g. QED up) if that's what you're asking. They appear to swoop in at higher scales (molecular level) and simulate molecular interactions across "hundreds of molecular species" and "thousands of reactions."
Apparently the interface between molecules uses the Chemical Master Equations (CME) and Reaction-Diffusion Master Equations (RDME) both of which I'm unfamiliar with:

- dahart 5y agoYes, this appears to be the underlying simulation software. Here’s a home page link to the project as well: http://faculty.scs.illinois.edu/schulten/Software2.0.html http://faculty.scs.illinois.edu/schulten/Software2.0.html “Lattice Microbes is a software package for efficiently sampling trajectories from the chemical and reaction-diffusion master equations (CME/RDME) on high performance computing (HPC) infrastructure using both exact and approximate methods.”

- kingcharles 5y agoAh, should have realized when Quad Erat Demonstradum made no sense...!
- tobmlt 5y agoI've always imagined Feynman making a QED, QED joke sometime in the late 1940's for this very reason. Like he could end his Shelter Island Conference talk with the joke and then look up from the blackboard... to a bunch of confused and deeply furrowed brows, lol.
