    Enzyme Kinetics
    Enzyme function is often modeled using the Michaelis-Menten equation, which describes the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction ($V$) based on the substrate concentration ($[\text{S}]$):
    $$ V = \frac{V{\text{max}}[\text{S}]}{Km + [\text{S}]} $$

    Inhibition
    Inhibition occurs when a molecule reduces the rate of an enzymatic reaction. Inhibitors are generally classified based on their binding site and reversibility.
    | Inhibitor Type | Binding Site | Effect on $Km$ | Effect on $V{\text{max}}$ | Primary Mechanism |

    Sociological Innovations: The Five-Dollar Day
    In 1914, Ford stunned the industrial world by unilaterally increasing the minimum daily wage for his factory workers to $\$5.00$, doubling the prevailing rate. This policy was not purely altruistic; it was intrinsically linked to his manufacturing goals. Ford referred to this as the "Sociological Policy," designed to reduce crippling [labor turnover](/entries/…
