Lineweaver-Burke Plots Introduction and Theory

The video tutorial explains the Lineweaver-Burk plot, a linear transformation of the Michaelis-Menten equation, used to determine enzyme kinetics parameters VMAX and KM. It covers the derivation of the Lineweaver-Burk equation, plotting techniques, and how to interpret the plot to calculate VMAX and KM. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of using reciprocal values for plotting and suggests using software like Excel for linear regression analysis.
