Holly:...Oh, that's for a cakewalk. It's like musical chairs. Music is played...
Yi-jun: ...and when the music stops, you stand on a square!

Determination of the kcat/Km ratio gives a measurement of the substrate specificity. It allows to compare the specicity of different substrates for a same enzyme or the comparison of hydrolysis rates with different enzymes cleaving the same substrate. This ratio has a unit of a second order rate constant and is then expressed as 1/(concentration.time).

The finding by Drs. Fire and Mello made sense of a series of puzzling results obtained mostly by plant biologists, including some who were trying to change the color of petunias. By clarifying what was happening, they discovered an unexpected system of gene regulation in living cells and began an explosive phase of research in a field known variously as RNA interference or gene silencing.

SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE (1998) Writers Tom Stoppard and Marc Norman see the Bard of Avon (Joseph Fiennes) not as a sublime poet/playwright, but simply and amusingly as a writer on deadline, trying to bat out Romeo and Ethel, the Pirate's Daughter, before the creditors close in.

The next flight in America's Apollo space project -- Apollo Thirteen -- never landed on the moon. Three days after launch, an explosion damaged the spacecraft. The astronauts lost most of their oxygen. They had to cancel the moon landing and use the moon lander as a lifeboat. Oxygen from the lander kept them alive during the long trip back to Earth.

Joe: Hey good looking, do you come here often?

And members of the Democratic Party arrived by the thousands to seek jobs in the new administration.

Husband: Come on, let's go out today. We're always stuck at home.
Wife: No, I'd rather not. I'm a homebody. You knew that when we met.
Husband: Yes, but three years without going out is a bit excessive.
Wife: That's so not true. I went out just six months ago.
Husband: But then you had to. That's when we moved in here. You're not a homebody, you're a lazy body.
