Biotech operators
8 operators in the biotech category of the live registry. Each is a named formula you can compose inside a state contract or call directly through POST /api/zeq/compute. KO42 is always on; add up to three more per call (total ≤ 4), per the 7-step protocol.
| Operator | Description | Equation |
|---|---|---|
BINDING_AFFINITY | Equilibrium dissociation constant quantifying receptor-ligand binding affinity as the ratio of unbound to bound species concentrations. | K_d = \frac{[L][R]}{[LR]} |
BIO_MICHAELIS | Michaelis-Menten equation modeling enzyme kinetics as a hyperbolic relationship between substrate concentration and reaction velocity. | v = \frac{V_{max}[S]}{K_m + [S]} |
CELL_GROWTH | Exponential cell growth equation predicting population size over time from initial count and specific growth rate constant. | N_t = N_0 \times e^{\mu t} |
DNA_MELTING | Estimates DNA duplex melting temperature from nucleotide composition, predicting the temperature at which half the strands are denatured. | T_m = 64.9 + 41\frac{G+C-16.4}{A+T+G+C} |
ENZYME_ACTIVITY | Enzyme activity calculation measuring the rate of product formation per unit time normalized by enzyme concentration. | Activity = \frac{\Delta [Product]}{\Delta t \times [E]} |
PCR_AMPLIFICATION | PCR amplification formula predicting exponential DNA copy number after n thermocycling rounds assuming perfect doubling efficiency. | N = N_0 \times 2^n |
PROTEIN_FOLD | Gibbs free energy equation determining protein folding spontaneity from the balance of enthalpy and entropy at a given temperature. | \Delta G = \Delta H - T\Delta S |
PROTEIN_MASS | Calculates protein molecular weight by summing constituent amino acid masses and subtracting water lost during peptide bond formation. | MW = \sum_i n_i \times MW_i - (n-1) \times 18.015 |

The response carries the bare physics value, its unit and uncertainty, the generated master equation, and a signed envelope you can verify on any node.
