Assignment 2: Nutrient uptake kinetics

The assignment has two parts:

1. Plot the data below using the Michaelis-Menten equation for a saturating hyperbola and estimate the parameters Vmax and K1/2 from the curve.

2. Plot 1/v against 1/Nutrient concentration and use that transform to estimate Vmax and K1/2

Note: Different students in the class have recieved slight different versions of this data set via email. You can use the data table from your email of the one below.
