title: A BASIC program for the estimation of Michaelis-Menten parameters by the direct linear plot.
abstract: The use of manual graphical methods for the estimation of Michaelis-Menten kinetic parameters as recommended by Eisenthal and Cornish-Bowden (Biochem. J. 139 (1974) 715-720) was found to be impractical for large (n greater than 5) sample numbers. A BASIC program providing the rank ordered coordinates of intersections, which correspond to estimates of Km and Vmax in the direct linear plot method, is described.
