Biotechnology Laboratory – Case 3

You are assigned to submit a group lab report which requires you to determine Km and Vmax values by drawing Michaelis-Menten plot and Lineweaver-Burk plot using the results obtained in the laboratory experiment specific to your group. Which of the following choices is in line with best academic integrity practices?

  • A. If you are not getting the right graphs/values, you can use data from other groups doing the same experiment.
  • B. If you are unable to determine Km and Vmax values from your graph, you can ask students from different lab section or group to share their graphs with you.
  • C. Change/modify the data obtained from the laboratory experiment so that your Km and Vmax values fall within the expected range.
  • D. Work in your assigned group to understand how to use the values to determined Km and Vmax values and ask your professor or GA if any queries persist.
