The Lineweaver–Burk plot, which illustrates the reciprocal of the reaction rate (1/v)(1/v) versus the reciprocal of the substrate concentration (1/[S])(1/[S]) , is a graphical representation of enzyme kinetics. This plot is typically used to determine the maximum rate, VmaxVmax , and the Michaelis constant, KmKm , which can be gleaned from the intercepts and slope. Identify each intercept and the slope in terms of the constants VmaxVmax and KmKm .
