where v> is the reaction velocity, [S] is the substrate concentration, Vmax> is the maximum velocity, and KM> is the Michaelis constant. If an enzyme reaction follows Michaelis-Menten kinetics, then a plot of 1/v against 1/[S] results in a straight line with defined slope and intercepts; see Lineweaver-Burk plot, under plot.
