  We show that the quantum coordinate ring of the unipotent subgroup N(w) of a
symmetric Kac-Moody group G associated with a Weyl group element w has the
structure of a quantum cluster algebra. This quantum cluster structure arises
naturally from a subcategory C_w of the module category of the corresponding
preprojective algebra. An important ingredient of the proof is a system of
quantum determinantal identities which can be viewed as a q-analogue of a
T-system. In case G is a simple algebraic group of type A, D, E, we deduce from
these results that the quantum coordinate ring of an open cell of a partial
flag variety attached to G also has a cluster structure.
