Free vs Immobilized Enzyme: Reuse & Cost Simulator

Run repeated reaction batches with a free (dissolved) enzyme versus an immobilized enzyme anchored to a solid support: watch per-batch reaction speed differ while cumulative product and enzyme cost reveal which strategy wins over many batches.

Molecular Biology3DModerate60 FPS

Two identical reaction vessels run side by side: one with the enzyme freely dissolved in solution, one with the same enzyme anchored to a solid support. Watch each batch convert substrate to product at its own characteristic rate, then see what happens between batches — one enzyme is discarded and repurchased, the other is simply filtered out and reused — and how that shapes cumulative product and cost over many repeated batches.

⚙ Under the hood

Run repeated reaction batches side by side with a free (dissolved) enzyme and an enzyme immobilized on a solid support: the free enzyme reacts faster per batch but is discarded and rebought every time, while the immobilized enzyme reacts slower but is simply filtered out and reused, with live cumulative product and cost tracking revealing which strategy wins.
