I don't know a huge amount about enzyme kinetics, but R is fine for
solving ODEs. I concede that Julia or Python may be more powerful if you
want to do really, really serious numerical ODE work, but undergraduates
don't really need that kind of power. There would be reasonable
justifications for using Julia or Python if you wanted students to go on
with that language in the future, but R would definitely be good enough,
and I can imagine plenty of reasons to prefer R in a particular context
(e.g. instructor is comfortable with it, students already know it or
will use it in future courses, you want to use the RStudio interface, ...)

I'm interested to hear about teaching enzyme kinetics with R, I would
have thought Julia or even Python which has more dedicated tooling for
ODEs would be better.

I have a colleague who uses R to teach his undergraduate biochem
students analysis of enzyme kinetics. I am very interested in
finding other ways to expose undergrads to coding because I feel
strongly that they need that exposure to help them progress if
they wish to go on to graduate or professional education. I also
feel that in careers at large being able to say they have been
exposed to coding in some form helps with future employers.
