Answer #1

Recall that this plot is used for Michaelis –Menten equation. It helps to calculate the constants much easier (via graph)

From Michaelis–Menten equation.

V = Vmax*[S] / (Km + [S])

Where

Vmax = max rate velocity (M/s)

[S] = substrate concentration (M)

Km = Michaelis–Menten constant [M]

V = reaction rate [M/s]

Now… mathematical manipulation

Inverse:

1 / [ V = Vmax*[S] / (Km + [S]) ]

1/V = (Km + [S]) / (Vmax*[S])

Separate species

1/V = (Km) / (Vmax*[S])  + [S] / (Vmax*[S])

1/V = Km / Vmax*[S]  + 1/ Vmax

Now, note that:

1/V = Km / Vmax*[S]  + 1/ Vmax

1/V = y-axis

Km/Vmax = slope

1/[S] = x-axis

1/Vmax = y-intercept

-1/Km = x-intecept ( when y = 0 )

Now… Plot the your DATA:

x-axis = 1/[S]

y-axis = 1/V

from:

y-axis --> 2.9701 = 1/Vmax

Vmax = 0.3366

slope = Km/Vmax = 1229.4

Km/0.3366 = 1229.4

Km =  1229.4*0.3366

Km = 413.81
