Abstract
Systematic errors in initial substrate concentration (s0), product concentration and reaction time give much larger errors in the Michaelis–Menten parameters unless s0 is treated as an unknown parameter. These errors are difficult to detect because the fitted curve deviates little from the data. The effect of non-enzymic reaction is also examined.
