At lower substrate concentrations, sigmoid kinetics typically produces slower rates than the corresponding
hyperbolic form. We were able to recreate the bell-shaped curve by measuring the activities with 2 mM substrate and contrast it with measurements made with 64 mM substrate (Figure 1).
Right-wing warnings of impending tyranny express, in
hyperbolic form, well-grounded dread: that conservative America will soon come to be dominated, in a semi-permanent fashion, by an ascendant Democratic coalition hostile to its outlook and interests."
Anyone who has seen a James Bond film will already have been exposed, in
