Metabolic Engineering Simulator

Interactive metabolic pathway engineering simulator: tune Michaelis-Menten enzyme Vmax sliders, knock out reactions, and redirect flux through a branched pathway to maximize target-product yield in real time.

This simulator models a small branched metabolic pathway — substrate uptake, a main route to a target product, and a competing byproduct branch — driven by Michaelis-Menten enzyme kinetics. Adjust each reaction's Vmax or knock it out entirely to redirect carbon flux and watch the product yield fraction respond in real time.

⚙ Under the hood

Tune Michaelis-Menten Vmax sliders and knock out reactions in a branched metabolic pathway (substrate uptake, main route to a target product, competing byproduct branch) and watch flux, concentrations and product yield fraction respond in real time.
