Interactive Demo
Enzyme Kinetics & Thermodynamics Demo
Enzyme Kinetics & Thermodynamics Demo is a free, interactive learning demo from the Introductory Biology course on Lykke. It helps you build intuition for Activation Energy, Free Energy (ΔG), Enzyme Inhibition, Allosteric Regulation. Play with it directly in your browser — it features 4 sliders, 1 button and a live visual canvas. This demo lives in the “Enzyme Kinetics and Thermodynamics” section of the course.
How to use this demo
- Drag the “Activation Energy (Eₐ) 50”, “Temperature (T) 300K”, “Substrate Conc. [S] 20” sliders to change the inputs and watch the result update live.
- Use the “Reset Reaction” button to trigger actions or reset the demo.
- Experiment freely — there's nothing to break, and every change is reversible.
What you'll explore
- Activation Energy
- Free Energy (ΔG)
- Enzyme Inhibition
- Allosteric Regulation
- Metabolic Pathways
Frequently asked questions
What does the Enzyme Kinetics & Thermodynamics Demo demo do?
They need enough kinetic energy to overcome the activation energy barrier (Eₐ). Enzyme Kinetics & Thermodynamics Demo lets you explore this hands-on instead of only reading about it.
What Introductory Biology concept does Enzyme Kinetics & Thermodynamics Demo teach?
The study of biological catalysts, reaction energetics, and metabolic regulation. It focuses on Activation Energy, Free Energy (ΔG), Enzyme Inhibition, Allosteric Regulation, Metabolic Pathways from the “Enzyme Kinetics and Thermodynamics” section.
What can I control in Enzyme Kinetics & Thermodynamics Demo?
The “Activation Energy (Eₐ) 50”, “Temperature (T) 300K”, “Substrate Conc. [S] 20” sliders change the key inputs; the “Reset Reaction” button run actions or reset the demo. Every change updates the visualization in real time, so you can see exactly how each variable affects the outcome.
How does Enzyme Kinetics & Thermodynamics Demo fit into the Introductory Biology course?
7.016 Introductory Biology provides a comprehensive exploration of the molecular and cellular foundations of life, integrating biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology. The course emphasizes the structure and regul… This demo is the interactive piece for the “Enzyme Kinetics and Thermodynamics” section.

What will I understand better after using Enzyme Kinetics & Thermodynamics Demo?
You'll build intuition for Activation Energy, Free Energy (ΔG), Enzyme Inhibition, Allosteric Regulation, Metabolic Pathways — and, crucially, see how they behave when you change the inputs, which is hard to get from a textbook or lecture on Introductory Biology alone.
