The Lineweaver-Burk plot is a graph of:

  1. V versus [S] (direct plot)
  2. 1/V versus 1/[S]
  3. V versus 1/[S] (Hanes)
  4. [S] versus V (Eadie)
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: 1/V versus 1/[S]

The Lineweaver-Burk plot is a double-reciprocal plot of 1/V against 1/[S], linearizing the Michaelis-Menten equation. The x-intercept gives −1/Km and the y-intercept gives 1/Vmax.
