Concept #1: Michaelis-Menten vs. Lineweaver-Burk Plots

Expert Q&A

Practice: Why is it preferable to use a Lineweaver-Burk over a Michaelis-Menten plot when studying enzyme kinetics?

Practice: You measure V0 of an enzyme at 6 different [S] & plot the data on a Lineweaver-Burk plot. You then determine the line of best fit to the data to visualize the x & y intercepts. Calculate the Vmax & Km of the enzyme. Hint: pay close attention to the indicated units.
