 Menten, Maud
Born in Port Lambton, Ontario, Canada, Menten graduated from the University of Toronto with a B.A. in 1904 and an M.B. in medicine in 1907.
The pivotal year in Menten's life was 1912, when she crossed the Atlantic Ocean to spend a year working with Michaelis at the University of Berlin.
Although Menten did make tremendous contributions to medical science while in Pittsburgh, it was not until a year before her retirement at the age of seventy that the university promoted her to the highest rank of full professor.

Menten's contributions to science began with her work in 1913 in the laboratory of L. Michaelis in Berlin, where they collaborated on a famous paper on chemical kinetics which presented the world with the 'Michaelis-Menten Constant'.
Dr. Menten was an avid researcher all her life: in 1924 she discovered the hyperglycemic effects of salmonella toxins, in 1944 she determined the sedimentation constants and the electrophoretic mobilities of adult and fetal carboxyl hemoglobin, and she developed an azo-dye coupling reaction to demonstrate alkaline phosphotase in the kidney.
V is a constant depending on the amount of enzyme present and K is the constant characteristic of a given enzyme-substrate pair.

 Silverberg review
I suspect that most experimentalists would not want to rely on subtle statistical estimations of error to determine if the data support one model better than another; they would rather try to devise a different experiment in which the two models would be expected to give much grosser differences.
The second half of the book is a manual for Leonora (named after Maud Leonora Menten and Leonor Michaelis), the author’s own program for robust regression of enzyme kinetic data.
My criticisms of the book are really arguments with Cornish-Bowden because he induced me to think about the subject.
