### Enzyme Kinetics: Michaelis-Menten Parameters

#### Problem 11: Calculation of \( K_M \) and \( V_{\max} \)

Given the following substrate concentration \([S]\) in micromolar (\(\mu M\)) and initial velocity \(v_0\) in millimolar per second (\(mM \cdot s^{-1}\)), calculate the Michaelis-Menten constant \(K_M\) and the maximum reaction velocity \(V_{\max}\).

| \([S]\) (\(\mu M\)) | \(v_0\) (\(mM \cdot s^{-1}\)) |
|:------------------:|:------------------:|
|       0.1          |       0.34         |
|       0.2          |       0.53         |
|       0.4          |       0.74         |
|       0.8          |       0.91         |
|       1.6          |       1.04         |

### Explanation
- **Substrate Concentration \([S]\)**: The table displays five different substrate concentrations measured in micromolar (\(\mu M\)).
- **Initial Velocity \(v_0\)**: The initial reaction rate (velocity) corresponding to each substrate concentration is presented in millimolar per second (\(mM \cdot s^{-1}\)).

#### Steps to Calculate \(K_M\) and \(V_{\max}\):

1. **Plot the Data**: Create a graph plotting \([S]\) on the x-axis against \(v_0\) on the y-axis to visualize the Michaelis-Menten kinetic curve.
2. **Linear Transformation**: Convert the data using the Lineweaver-Burk plot (double reciprocal plot) where \(1/v_0\) is plotted against \(1/[S]\). This linear transformation allows for the determination of \(K_M\) and \(V_{\max}\) through the slope and y-intercept:
   \[
   \frac{1}{v_0} = \frac{K_M}{V_{\max}} \cdot \frac{1}{[S]} + \frac{1}{V_{\max}}
   \]
3. **Determine Parameters**:
   - The y-intercept of the Lineweaver-Burk plot equals \(\frac{1}{
