Cofactor Recycling Loop (2D): NADPH Regeneration in Biocatalysis
Interactive 2D diagram of enzymatic cofactor recycling: a ketoreductase consumes NADPH while a coupled glucose dehydrogenase regenerates it, letting a catalytic trace of cofactor turn over a full-size substrate pool. Tune loading, recycling capacity, temperature and glucose feed live, with a real-time concentration strip chart.
Industrial biocatalysis rarely buys its cofactors by the mole — instead a second, coupled enzyme regenerates the expensive reduced cofactor in place, so a catalytic trace turns over the whole substrate pool. This 2D simulator models that loop directly: a ketoreductase site consumes NADPH to make product while a glucose dehydrogenase site spends glucose to regenerate it, with real Michaelis-Menten kinetics, a Q10 temperature rule, a live cofactor turnover-number readout, a draggable tilt on the shuttle-loop diagram, and a real-time strip chart of every pool.
Watch a ketoreductase consume NADPH to form product while a coupled glucose dehydrogenase regenerates it from glucose, letting a catalytic trace of cofactor turn over the whole substrate pool. Tune cofactor loading, recycling-enzyme ratio, temperature and glucose feed and watch conversion, turnover number and redox balance respond live on a draggable 2D loop diagram with a real-time concentration strip chart.
