May 27, 2015 at 14:54 comment added alec_djinn Well, maybe it was not clear enough but as catalysts I have listed metals, mineral and peptides instead enzymes and a have specified that a mix of simple molecules will be needed, this is what would make a cell 'minimal'.Indeed the difference between a minimal cell and a proper cell is the complexity of its building blocks. So, the minimal cell requires the same basic components of a normal cell, but you may expect to have a simpler version of them (less complex, less diverse, less optimized).
May 27, 2015 at 14:34 comment added AliceD I downvoted because it is basically a list of what is needed in a typical cell, not a minimal cell. Hence it doesn't really address the question. Apologies for not commenting earlier. Happy to upvote after edits. Please ping me.
