Chemist/physician Dr. Maud Menten co-authored the seminal paper 𝘋𝘪𝘦 𝘒𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘬 𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘐𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘸𝘪𝘳𝘬𝘶𝘯𝘨, 1931. This intro'd the Michaelis–Menten equation (image). It remains a cornerstone of #biochemistry, used in drug design, metabolic studies & enzyme engineering. She was born #OTD in 1879. #WomenInSTEM
A black-and-white historical photograph of Dr. Maud Leonora Menten (1879–1960), the Canadian physician and biochemist who co-developed the Michaelis–Menten equation for enzyme kinetics. Taken in her laboratory (likely at the University of Pittsburgh in the 1910s–1920s), she stands with a serious, focused expression—lips closed, eyes direct and thoughtful—against a backdrop of wooden shelves filled with glass bottles, jars, scientific equipment, and a wire-mesh enclosure. She wears a dark dress with a lace collar, a string of beads, and her hair styled in a neat bun. Superimposed on the image is the Michaelis–Menten equation in white text:v=Vmax⁡[S]Km+[S]v = \frac{V_{\max} [S]}{K_m + [S]}v = \frac{V_{\max} [S]}{K_m + [S]}
This iconic portrait captures Menten during her groundbreaking research in biochemistry and histochemistry, where she helped establish the foundational mathematical model of enzyme-substrate reactions still used today, while overcoming significant gender barriers as one of the first women in Canada to earn both an M.D. and a Ph.D.

A new study shows that the ability to produce psilocybin evolved twice in mushrooms, arising independently in distantly related lineages. That repeated innovation might hint at a deeper ecological purpose Paper: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/d…. #Evolution #Biochemistry #Psychedelics 🧪🧬🧫🍄‍🟫

Mushrooms evolved psychedelics twice, baffling scientists

Researchers found that magic mushrooms and fiber caps independently evolved different biochemical pathways to create psilocybin. This convergence shows nature’s ingenuity, but the reason why remains u...

Fro the last few years, as part of a final assignment in my senior biophysical chem class I ask students to share a class-related memes, with ones they make themselves highly encouraged! For everyone's enjoyment, here are some of my favorites! #chemistry #biochemistry #sigfigs #units 🧪

If you're in need of festive (bio)molecules, here are some ⭐-shaped suggestions 1: A cyanostar 2: PDB 8I6G 3: PDB 6M6G 4: PDB 6Y83 SMILES for the cyanostar are below, so you don't have to draw it by hand (unlike me 😅) Feel free to add your favorite festive molecule! #b3d #chemistry #biochemistry
