I'm a physician doctor with an MD degree. My passion for teaching has always been appreciated by students with whom I have shared my knowledge. I'm a passionate teacher of medical biochemistry and would like to share my knowledge about this beautiful subject with all those who is interested to learn to understand the cellular metabolic events and to understand the metabolic disease process. I would like to learn new things by keeping myself updated with current research in the field. Let us share the knowledge each other!!

How to calculate Km and Vmax using Lineweaver Burk plot



In this video I have explained how to calculate Km and Vmax of an enzyme in Lineweaver Burk double reciprocal plot.

The Lineweaver–Burk plot was widely used to determine important terms in enzyme kinetics, such as Km and Vmax, before the wide availability of powerful computers and non-linear regression software. The y-intercept of such a graph is equivalent to the inverse of Vmax; the x-intercept of the graph represents −1/Km. It also gives a quick, visual impression of the different forms of enzyme inhibition.

Explanation for a Kaplan Question on Enzyme Kinetics

In the following video I have explained in detail about the correct answer to a Kaplan question on enzyme kinetics and also I have explained why other choices are wrong. I have touched up on the concepts like Km, Vmax, affinity-Km relation, non-competitive inhibition and effect of enzyme concentration on the reaction.
