The initial rate for an enzyme-catalyzed reaction has been determined at a number of substrate concentrations. Data are as follows:

[S] (μmol/L)

v [(μmol/L) min1]

(a) Estimate Vmax and KMfrom a direct graph of v versus [S] (these data are plotted in Figure 11.24b). Do you find difficulties in getting clear answers?


(b) Now use a Lineweaver-Burk plot to analyze the same data. Does this work better?


 (c) Finally, try an Eadie-Hofstee plot of the same data.
