Enzyme Engineering: Directed Evolution Lab

Interactive directed-evolution simulator: mutate an enzyme's active site, screen the variants against real Michaelis-Menten kinetics (kcat, Km, vmax), and select the fittest to watch catalytic activity climb round over round.

Watch directed evolution turn a mediocre enzyme into an efficient catalyst, one mutation-screen-select cycle at a time. The 3D active site literally reshapes itself as its geometry and electrostatics improve, substrate molecules dock via a lock-and-key / induced-fit approach, and every reaction rate on screen comes from real Michaelis–Menten kinetics rather than a scripted animation.

⚙ Under the hood

Directed-evolution simulator: mutate an enzyme's 3D active site, screen 3-5 variants against real Michaelis-Menten kinetics (kcat, Km, vmax), and select the fittest each round to watch catalytic activity climb over successive generations.
