Problem 2- Determine the 1/V-intercept of the Lineweaver-Burk equation.

What is the 1/V-intercept (y-intercept) of the line represented by the Lineweaver-Burk equation?

Recall the Lineweaver-Burk equation,

1/V = (Km + [S])/Vmax[S] = (km/vmax)(1/[S]) + 1/vmax.

 

 

A.

 

V

B.

 

Km

C.

 

Km/Vmax

D.

 

Vmax

E.

 

1/Vmax

F.

 

G.

 

Problem 3- Given a Lineweaver-Burk plot, determine the Vmax of a particular enzyme.
