Problem 5- Determine the x-intercept of the Lineweaver-Burk equation.

What is the 1/[S]-intercept (x-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.

 

B.

 

C.

 

-Km

D.

 

E.

 

0

F.

 

Problem 6- Compare a Lineweaver-Burk plot to a Michaelis-Menten plot for the same data set.
