Understanding Lineweaver-Burk Plots

Lineweaver-Burk Equation:
1/v = (Km / Vmax) × 1/[S] + 1/Vmax
This linear equation transforms enzyme kinetics into a straight line to help determine Vmax and Km more accurately.

In this plot, the x-axis is 1 / [S] and the y-axis is 1 / v.

The y-intercept represents 1 / Vmax, and the x-intercept represents -1 / Km.

The slope is Km / Vmax, giving insight into enzyme efficiency.

This tool helps visualize how changes in Vmax and Km affect the enzyme reaction using reciprocal plots.
