        plot (Fig. 3). The gradient and y-axis intercept of the L ineweaver-Burke plot are equal to
        K M/v max and 1/v max,  respectively,  from which the maximum rate of reaction and the
        Michaelis constant can be calculated.















                              Fig. 3. The Lineweaver-Burke plot for
                              enzyme kinetics. The reciprocal of
                              reaction rate, v, is plotted against the
                              reciprocal of substrate concentrations,
                              [S], for experiments using the same
                              total enzyme concentration.
