- In 1879, in Port Lambton, Ontario, Maud Lenora Menten was born. Graduating from the University of Toronto in 1913, Menten was one of the first Canadian women to receive a medical degree. That same year, along with Dr. Leonor Michaelis, Menten introduced a concept that forever changed the study of biological reactions and helped to shape the field of biochemistry. The Michaelis-Menten equation gave scientists a way in which they could mathematically analyze their observations and descriptions of biological reactions. Not content to rest on her remarkable discovery, Menten co-devised what is now the standard method of isolating and describing protein behavior.
