🍬 Glycosylation Site Simulator (2D)

This 2D companion strips the Golgi vessel down to a flat, top-down lane so the binding kinetics read cleanly: sugar-donor dots drift across the lane and bind an open glycosyltransferase site (drawn as a hexagon) once they enter its capture radius, wait out a conversion time set by the elongation-rate slider, then leave as a larger green dot marking a completed glycan while the site frees up for the next donor. The same four controls as the 3D version — donor supply, enzyme count, donor affinity and elongation rate — drive an identical Michaelis-Menten-style rate law, so raising affinity visibly shrinks the effective Km and lets fewer enzymes saturate at high donor concentration, exactly as real glycosyltransferase kinetics behave.
