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.

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.
