hey i'm new here but i was wondering if you could tell me some disadvantages of the linweaver-Burk plot, Eadie Hofstee plo and the Michaelis-Menten equation

  #2

With Michaelis Menton it is very difficult to measure Vmax/ Lineweaver Burke makes this much easier.

  #3

With Lin Burk you have a straight line so you need to have only two points to plot the curve. Wheras in MM you need to know the individual valus at every point.

  #4

The Lineweaver Burk plot results in inaccuracies at low substrate concentrations since the points are very far apart due to the 1/[S] calculation.
