| double-reciprocal plot | <statistics> A graph made to analyse how fast an enzyme can convert its substrate into its product, depending on how much substrate is present (its concentration) and to determine its maximum speed (after which the enzyme does not get any faster no matter how high the concentration of substrate gets), called Vmax. It is a plot of 1/v versus 1/[S], where v=rate of product formation and [S]=the concentration of the substrate. Synonym: Lineweaver-Burk plot, Woolf-Lineweaver-Burk plot. (05 Mar 2000) |
| double refraction | <microscopy> The refraction of light in two slightly different directions to form two rays or vector components. Each ray is polarized, and their vibration directions are perpendicular to each other. Furthermore, each ray has a different velocity, and therefore a different refractive index. See: birefringence. (05 Aug 1998) |
