How Does Log Transformation Simplify Kinetic Models?
In kinetic modeling, rate laws often involve exponents and multiplicative constants. By applying log transformations, these multiplicative relationships can be converted into additive ones. For example, the rate law \( r = k[A]^m[B]^n \) becomes log(r) = log(k) + m*log([A]) + n*log([B]). This linear form is easier to handle with statistical tools like linear regression.
