Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A Lineweaver-Burk plot is a double reciprocal plot, as it displays the inverse of the Michaelis-Menten equation (1/V versus 1/[S]) as a straight line. However, it is not referred to as a sigmoidal plot (which implies a curved plot) or a Michaelis-Menten plot (which refers specifically to the hyperbolic shape of the enzyme kinetics). It is also linear, but not all linear plots are Lineweaver-Burk plots.
