This Words of Advice article frames the argument that enzymology is a rich discipline within the respective disciplines of mathematics, physics/chemistry and biology. It goes on to emphasize the necessity in taking an interdisciplinary approach in teaching this subject in order to gain a holistic appreciation of its various aspects. Further, it advocates the use of intuition, analogies, simulation and historical contextualization for a better appreciation of the subject matter.
