By Michaelis-menten kinetics we know

where v= rate of reactiom is the maximum reaction rate [S] is the substrate concentration .But mathematically to fit this model into experimental data

We take a reciprocal of this equation on both sides we get Thus if we plot 1/v vs 1/[S] we will get a straight line with slope and y-intercept as as the model resembles y=mx+c straight line equation

We get ,we get .Thank You!

Absorption by a protein ( at 100 μM concentration) in a 1 cm path-length cell eliminates 92.06 % of the UV light passing through the solution at 280 nm. The composition of the protein is unusual - it contains no aromatic residues besides tryptophan, and no disulfide bonds. The protein is well behaved and does not scatter UV radiation. 1. What is the absorbance of the protein solution? 2. What is the molar absorption coefficient (M-1cm-1) of the protein? 3....
