Debating Questions

Why would stochastic simulation (on the molecular level) be good:
• It sounds more cool than ODE – based models;
• It generally gives (or at least it should give) a more realistic view of the biological process studied;
• Individual complexes could be traced all through the simulation (not sure if we’d ever need that; probably not).

Why would stochastic simulation (on the molecular level) not be of interest:
• In terms of the results, the predicted values of the CheY concentration levels fluctuate around the deterministically obtained ones, with amplitude of fluctuations indirectly proportional to population size (number of molecules).
