It would be so cool if we could (Maybe it's been done?) do this with a simulation!
I can see how a cell is far too complicated to contemplate at this time. But, if focusing on the video of the DNA replication complex. (DNA strand + a few enzymes), I wonder if it could be in the realm of doable within the coming years or decades.
Re water... yea... I suspect explicit solvents are the way to go. So, you are not just simulating the protein and DNA molecules, but also each water.
