Question
### Enzyme Kinetics Analysis of Aldolase

**Problem Statement:**
You are studying the kinetic behavior of the enzyme aldolase, which converts the substrate, fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (FBP), into dihydroxyacetone phosphate and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P). You collect the following data by measuring the rate of G3P formation:

#### Data Table

| \([FBP]\) (mM) | Rate (µmol/min) | \(\frac{1}{[FBP]}\) | \(\frac{1}{\text{rate}}\) |
|----------------|-----------------|--------------------|------------------|
| 0.25           | 8.3             | 4                  | 0.12             |
| 0.50           | 13.5            | 2                  | 0.074            |
| 1.00           | 19.4            | 1                  | 0.052            |
| 2.50           | 26.5            | 0.4                | 0.038            |
| 5.00           | 30.2            | 0.2                | 0.033            |

**Instructions:**

a) **Table Completion:**
   - Calculate and fill in \(\frac{1}{[FBP]}\) and \(\frac{1}{\text{rate}}\) columns based on the given data.

b) **Graph Plotting:**
   - On graph paper, create a double reciprocal plot (Lineweaver-Burk plot) using the values in the table.
   - Ensure to label the axes clearly.

c) **Line Drawing:**
   - With a ruler, draw the best straight line through the plotted points.

d) **Calculations:**
   - Use the line to calculate \(K_m\) and \(V_{max}\), the Michaelis-Menten constants that describe these data.

**Graph Description:**
- The graph is a Lineweaver-Burk plot, which is a double reciprocal plot used to analyze enzyme kinetics.
- The x-axis represents \(\frac{1}{[FBP]}\) and the y-axis represents \(\frac{1}{\text{rate}}\).
- The plot is linear, and the slope of the line gives \(\frac{K_m}{V
