Optimal spacing of data points. Different scenarios for computing the distribution of data points for steady state measurements are shown. A) Linear distribution on a double reciprocal plot. Sample data were calculated with kcat = 1 s−1 and Km = 0.2 (arbitrary units). The inset shows the same data on a double reciprocal plot. B) Logarithmic distribution of data points. Sample data were calculated with kcat = 1 s−1 and Km = 1 (arbitrary units). C) Data in B on a logarithmic x-axis. The smooth lines show the fitted curve.
