Data Handling Equations Flashcards
1
Q
Michaelis Menten Equation:
A
Michaelis-Menten plot [ v = Vmax*S / (Km+S) ]
2
Q
Lineweaver Burke Equation:
A
Lineweaver-Burke plot [1/V = Km/Vmax * 1/[S] + 1/Vmax]
3
Q
Why is Michaelis Menten more accurate than Lineweaver-burke plot
A
Michaelis Menton plots allow for the parameters to be calculated using the raw data values, whereas the Lineweaver Burke plot will produce skewed results because it’s data point are transformed.
