Calculate Km and Vmax for phenylalanine-containing peptide is catalyzed by a alpha-chymotrypsin with the following results

The hydrolysis of a phenylalanine-containing peptide is catalyzed by a alpha-chymotrypsin with the following results. Calculate Km and Vmax for the reaction.
Peptide concentration Velocity
2.5 x 10^-4 2.2 x 10 ^ -6
5.0 x 10 ^ -4 5.8 x 10 ^ -6
10.0 x 10 ^ -4 5.9 x 10 ^ -6
15.0 x 10 ^ -4 7.1 x 10 ^ -6


Original data
[S][V]
2.52.2
55.8

157.1
1/[S]1/[V]
0.40.4545454545
0.20.1724137931
0.10.1694915254
0.06666666670.14084507

Y=1/vmax =0.0554595078
Vmax=18.0311733672


slope = Km/Vmax=0.9332058421
km=slope*vmax=16.8267963262
