Function

   Find Km and Vmax for an enzyme reaction

Description

   Takes a file of enzymatic data and plots Michaelis Menten and Hanes
   Woolf plots of the data. From these it calculates the Michaelis Menten
   constant (Km) and the maximum velocity (Vmax) of the reaction.

Usage

   Here is a sample session with findkm


% findkm -graph cps 
Find Km and Vmax for an enzyme reaction
Enzyme kinetics data (application-specific) file: enztest.dat
Output file [enztest.findkm]:
