Lineweaver-Burk equation [¦līn‚wēv·ər ′bərk i‚kwā·zhən]

(biochemistry)

A double reciprocal form of the Michaelis-Menten equation, written as 1/V₀=K_m/V_max[S] + 1/V_max, that yields a straight-line plot for reactions obeying basic Michaelis-Menten kinetics. It provides a more accurate estimate ofV_maxand is helpful in analyzing enzyme inhibition.
