This is fantastic. At 12:49 and the subsequent discussion, note that you don’t generally need to fit to a continuous function, especially with data well resolved in time. The derivative between each pair of adjacent points can be approximated as the slope of the line between them. Calculating and plotting that against [A] strikes me as much easier than differentiating an nth-order polynomial. 😅

Exciting! Waiting for the next episodes!

Great talk! Very nice you provided a chemical biology example.

Did you know a good book for the study of this points of kinetics? Like "Saturation kinetics principles"?

Thank you for your interesting presentation! Could you say please if you have any documents on how to conduct such experiments in practice? I mean step by step procedure. Or any link to SI of the article with an example. Thank you in advance!
