Eadie-Hofstee diagram

In biochemistry, an Eadie-Hofstee diagram (also Woolf-Eadie-Augustinsson-Hofstee or Eadie-Augustinsson plot) is a graphical representation of enzyme kinetics in which reaction velocity is plotted as a function or the velocity vs. substrate concentration ratio:

v = -K_m { v \over [S] } + v_{max}

where v represents reaction velocity, Km is the Michaelis-Menten constant, [S] is the substrate concentration, and vmax is the maximum reaction velocity.

Like other techniques that linearize the Michaelis-Menten equation, the Eadie-Hofstee plot allows for rapid identification of important kinetic terms like Km and vmax. It is also more robust against error-prone data than the Lineweaver-Burke plot, particularly because it gives equal weight to data points in any range of substrate concentration or reaction velocity. (The Lineweaver-Burke plot unevenly weights such points.)

One drawback from the Eadie-Hofstee approach is that neither ordinate or abscissa represent independent variables: both are dependent on reaction velocity. Thus any experimental error will be present in both axes.

Science kits, science lessons, science toys, maths toys, hobby kits, science games and books - these are some of many products that can help give your kid an edge in their science fair projects, and develop a tremendous interest in the study of science. When shopping for a science kit or other supplies, make sure that you carefully review the features and quality of the products. Compare prices by going to several online stores. Read product reviews online or refer to magazines.

Start by looking for your science kit review or science toy review. Compare prices but remember, Price $ is not everything. Quality does matter.
