The michaelis menten plot is not a linear plot. Therefore most translate to a reciprocal plot, ie lineweaver-burk

What is Km in an enzyme?
The Michaelis constant (Km) is a means of characterising an enzyme's affinity for a substrate. The Km in an enzymatic reaction is the substrate concentration at which the reaction rate is half its maximum speed. Thus, a low Km value means that the enzyme has a high affinity for the substrate (as a "little" substrate is enough to run the reaction at half its max speed). This is only true for reactions where substrate is limiting and the enzyme is NOT allosteric.
Why is it important to determine the q calorimeter before determining the q metal?
The q calorimeter is the constant and will be needed to find the q metal.
What are the advantages of the lineweaver-Burke plot?
This is a linearized version in the michaelis menten plot. It allows one to study inhibitor easily.
What is the definition of enthalpy and entropy?
Enthalpy is the amount of energy released or used when kept at a constant pressure. Entropy refers to the unavailable energy within a system, which is also a measure of the problems within the system.
What is dielectric constant in chemical terms?
dielectric constant
How do you calculate Michaelis Menten constant?
The Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) is calculated by determining the substrate concentration at half of the maximum reaction rate (Vmax). This value can be obtained by plotting reaction rates against substrate concentrations and identifying the point where the reaction rate is half of Vmax. Km represents the affinity of the enzyme for its substrate.
What inhibitor causes the increase michaelis menten constant?
non competitive increase Km
If z is a substrate for either enzyme a or enzyme b what is the michaelis constant of enzyme a?
.2.90 BBC
What does it mean when an enzyme has a low value for its Michaelis constant?
It indicates that the enzyme has a high affinity for the substrate.
What is the Michaelis constant?
Km is defined as Km=1/2(Vmax). However be careful, the Km is a substrate concentration not a rate.
What has the author Sandra Ostojic written?
Sandra Ostojic has written: 'A study of the Michaelis constant for the H4 and M4 isoenzymes of lactate dehydrogenase'
What is the difference between q and K in determining an equilibrium constant?
K is the equilibrium constant, Q is a concentration.
What has the author Paul Michaelis written?
Paul Michaelis has written: 'Paul Michaelis' -- subject(s): Exhibitions
What is the birth name of Robert Michaelis?
Robert Michaelis's birth name is Robert Armand Ren Michaelis.
When did Herbert Michaelis die?
Herbert Michaelis died in 1939.

Herbert Michaelis was born in 1898.
When was Liane Michaelis born?
Liane Michaelis was born in 1953.
