HOw do I plot on michealis Menten plot and a lineweave burk plot and how do I solve the Km and vmax for both graphs. can you give me an example please on how i should solve it?
Enzyme kinetics
In biochemistry, enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts. Catalysis is the addition of a catalyst to a chemical reaction to speed up the pace of the reaction. Catalysis can be categorized as either homogeneous or heterogeneous, depending on whether the catalysts are distributed in the same phase as that of the reactants. Enzymes are an essential part of the cell because, without them, many organic processes would slow down and thus will affect the processes that are important for cell survival and sustenance.
Regulation of Enzymes
A substance that acts as a catalyst to regulate the reaction rate in the living organism's metabolic pathways without itself getting altered is an enzyme. Most of the biological reactions and metabolic pathways in the living systems are carried out by enzymes. They are specific for their works and work in particular conditions. It maintains the best possible rate of reaction in the most stable state. The enzymes have distinct properties as they can proceed with the reaction in any direction, their particular binding sites, pH specificity, temperature specificity required in very few amounts.

Michaelis-Menten plot is a representation of substrate concentration [S] with the velocity of an enzyme catalyzed reaction (Vo). This curve is a hyperbola in which as the substrate concentration increases, the velocity of the reaction increases in an exponential manner followed by a linear relation and then, a plateau region at which velocity remains unchanged with increase in substrate concentration.
Vmax is the maximum velocity of the reaction.
Km is defined as the substrate concentration at which velocity of the reaction is half maximal (Vmax/2).
