One of the most common mathematical presentations given in a Biochemistry class is that of the simple Michaelis-Menten enzyme activity curve, (1). This presentation usually derives the following hyperbolic expression from first principles involving a fixed concentration of the enzyme and various subtrate concentrations:
V = Vmax(s)/(Km+s)
