I have no experience in this area, but. Once you get the molecules and their interactions down wouldn't that make all other types of cells easier to produce?

And at a certain point couldn't you just feed the simulation DNA and watch it grow?

It takes supercomputers days to simulate milliseconds of interactions between a million atoms using classical mechanics (ie Newton's Laws, basically a ball and spring model so not even accounting for quantum effects except through very rough approximations in the spring constants). We don't even have an accurate model for water yet.
