Decoy Substrate Preferential Binding

More about Decoy Substrate Preferential Binding

Elena pulls up a new data model, her fingers flying across tablet's screen. “A decoy substrate it binds to preferentially” she murmurs, already running simulations. Screen lights up with synthetic polymers that are, structurally similar to enzyme targets but inert. Models depict enzymes shifting focus, dispersing onto decoys, maintaining containment matrix. “It’s not containment,” you add, a grin tugging at your lips, “it is a detour. We let it think it is winning.”
