How can we simulate the chemistry of very large biological structures such as enzymes, proteins and cell membranes?

We discuss a recent paper on modelling enzyme-catalysed reactions, and talk with Professor Syma Khalid from the University of Southampton about how she studies huge biological systems using coarse-graining techniques.
