... about the effect of substrate concentration on amylase activity. I recorded 28 points with [S] (mM) and V (mM/min). I subsequently plotted two graphs (a Michaelis-Menten and Lineweaver burk) and calculated the Vmax and Km. Vmax = 0.005033 mM/min KM = 23.41 So that I completely understand: the ...
