How Do Lineweaver-Burk Plots Compare to Other Kinetic Plots?
Other kinetic plots, such as Eadie-Hofstee and Hanes-Woolf plots, offer alternatives to Lineweaver-Burk plots. Eadie-Hofstee plots avoid some of the distortions by plotting v against v/[S], making them less prone to error magnification. Hanes-Woolf plots, which plot [S]/v against [S], also provide a more linear relationship and are less biased by experimental error. However, Lineweaver-Burk plots remain popular due to their simplicity and ease of interpretation.
