Abstract

Through an interactive Excel spreadsheet and accompanying activity, first-year college students explore enzyme kinetics, experimental error, and the be-havior of inhibitors. Many “what if” questions drive students to discover how a variety of parameters influence results.


Keywords: enzyme kinetics, inhibitors, non-linear regression
