🧪 DNA Repair Nanolab: Lesion Detection & Enzyme Fidelity (2D)

2D stochastic model of DNA damage-and-repair kinetics: a flat base-pair strand takes randomly timed lesion hits, a pool of enzyme complexes scans it and races to fix each one, and a fidelity roll decides whether the repair is clean or leaves a mutation.

This 2D companion turns the 3D nanolab scene into a readable kinetics model: a flat base-pair strand takes randomly timed lesion hits, a pool of enzyme complexes you control in count and scan speed sweeps the strand hunting for damage, and every repair ends with a fidelity roll that either restores the base pair cleanly or leaves a mutation behind — so genome integrity and mutation load respond directly to the damage-rate and repair-capacity sliders instead of a fixed animation. The 3D original renders a shared decorative particle scene reused across many unrelated sims in this catalogue; this companion instead implements the actual mechanic its title describes — Poisson-arrival DNA damage racing against enzyme repair capacity.

2D stochastic model of DNA damage-and-repair kinetics: a scrolling base-pair strand takes random lesion hits, repair-enzyme complexes scan and excise them, and a fidelity roll decides whether each fix is clean or leaves a mutation.
