Canadian biochemist & organic chemist Maud Lenora Menten was born #OTD in 1879.

She made significant contributions to enzyme kinetics and histochemistry, & invented a procedure that remains in use. She is most famous for her collaboration with German biochemist Leonor Michaelis in developing the Michaelis-Menten equation, a fundamental concept in enzyme kinetics. This equation describes the rate of enzymatic reactions and is crucial in understanding how enzymes function.
