Estimation of Michaelis constant and maximum velocity from the direct linear plot. 1978

A Cornish-Bowden, and R Eisenthal

When estimates of Michaelis-Menten parameters are obtained from kinetic observations taken in pairs, as in the direct linear plot, bias can arise in the final estimates if any pairs lead to negative values of the maximum velocity V. This bias can be removed by treating such negative values as if they were large and positive, and by treating the corresponding values of Km in the same way.
