Animation showing the stepwise packing of the JCVI-syn3A cytoplasmic space: cytosolic proteins (green), peripheral membrane proteins (red), RNA (blue), and metabolites (yellow) are placed into the intracellular space defined by the cell membrane and chromosome (white).
Cutaway and close-up views of a Martini coarse-grained whole-cell model of JCVI-syn3A, showing the densely packed cytoplasm with proteins, RNA, metabolites, and chromosome inside a lipid membrane with embedded membrane proteins
