The simulations04

Choose a lab to begin.

Biological molecules

Follow a starch chain into amylase and watch one bond break, one step at a time.

Cells & membranes

Compare four routes across a cell membrane, from simple diffusion to a pump powered by ATP.

Genetics & information

Follow a message from DNA to mRNA, then watch a ribosome build a polypeptide chain.

Communication & homeostasis

Follow adrenaline from a cell-surface receptor to cAMP and an amplified response inside the cell.
