Line Graph with Data Points

This graph illustrates a Hanes-Woolf plot, a specialized linear graph employed in enzyme kinetics to analyze the relationship between substrate concentration ([S]) and reaction velocity (v). Several data points are plotted, and a dashed line indicates the linear regression. Key kinetic parameters are clearly marked: the x-intercept represents -K_m, the y-intercept shows K_m/V_max, and the slope of the line is equal to 1/V_max. This linearization method is commonly used to determine the Michaelis constant (K_m) and maximum reaction velocity (V_max) from experimental enzyme activity data.
