Synthetic Pathway Designer: Engineering a Novel Metabolic Route

Design and test a three-step synthetic metabolic pathway wired into a virtual cell. Choose which enzyme variant catalyses the rate-limiting step, tune an inducible promoter that scales every enzyme's expression level, feed substrate in, and decide whether to knock out a competing host branch that siphons flux into a byproduct. Live Michaelis-Menten kinetics drive both the numeric readouts — product flux, byproduct fraction and overall yield — and a 3D particle-flow visualisation inside the engineered cell, so bottlenecks and trade-offs in synthetic biology strain design become directly visible.
