Explicit Finite Different scheme is used to model three dimensional stain - enzyme dynamics. The enzyme is assumed to be homogeneously spread through out the spatial domain at the start of the experiment. The scheme was applied on a reaction and diffusion equation thereafter. No flux boundary condition was applied at all boundaries which specifically meant for zero enzyme loss from the system. One of the boundaries is taken as the shirt with stain (1cm^2 area). The parameters and the initial conditions used in the simulations were chosen as realistic as possible.
