What We Do Not Know About Cells

The intracellular reactions of E.coli chemotaxis constitute one of the bestunderstood behavioral responses. We know the principal proteins responsible, their structures and biochemical properties and how they enable the bacterial cell detect and respond to attractants and repellents[1]. Numerous computer simulations have been developed that reproduce essential features of the response[2, 3]. In...
