Is this right?
Reaction rate
(pmol/hour)
substrate You got it. Nice
concentration (µM) curve, Kumi!*
* It's rare to get a smooth curve like this from real-world measurements.
This is just the ideal shape.
Although we'll use this data
to figure out Vmax and Km for
DNA polymerase...
we can't actually determine WHAT?!
those from this curve!
To get the values we need, we
have to create a graph called a
Lineweaver-Burk reciprocal plot.
Line... Those are just
weaver... the names of the
what? guys who came
up with it.
