E. coli Cytoplasm Brownian Dynamics Simulation    |    Adrian Elcock, Sean McGuffee

The simulation shows 1000 individual macromolecules diffusing, colliding and transiently associating with each other over the course of 10 microseconds of simulation; the translational diffusion coefficient of the GFP in this model is in agreement with experimental measurements.
