Are biological processes too complex to model?

Abstract

Single cells consist of thousands of different compounds and reactions. Evolution theory tells us that none of these compounds or reactions are useless for the cell. Keeping this in mind, the question is addressed on which basis a selection of state variables and of relation between state variables is possible. It is shown that only an interdisciplinary approach covering at least biology, chemical engineering and mathematics shows fruitful results.
