The Michaelis-Menten model for enzyme kinetics relates the rate y of an enzymatic reaction, to the concentration x of a substrate, as follows:

Bix B2 + x' where ßi, i = 1,2, are positive parameters. y = 1. Show that the model can be expressed as a linear relation between the values 1/y and 1/x. 2. Use this expression to find an estimate 3 of the parameter vector ß using linear least squares, based on m measurements (xi, Yi), i= 1,..., m. 3. The above approach has been found to be quite sensitive to errors in input data. Can you experimentally confirm this opinion?
