Lineweaver Burk Plot – Double Reciprocal Plot
Lineweaver Burk plot is also known as Double reciprocal plot which is derived by taking reciprocal of Michaelis-Menten equation on both the sides. It was described by Hans Lineweaver and Dean Burk in 1934.
It is used in enzyme kinetics to determine the Km and Vmax values which helps to understand the type of reversible inhibition is present in the system because the plot represents a straight line.
