[A] can provide intuitive insight about the order of each of the reagents. If plots of v / [A] vs. [B] overlay for multiple experiments with different-excess, the data are consistent with a first-order dependence on [A]. The same could be said for a plot of v / [B] vs. [A]; overlay is consistent with a first-order dependence on [B].
Michaelis–Menten kinetics for enzyme-catalysis: first-order in substrate (second-order overall) at low substrate concentrations, zero order in substrate (first-order overall) at higher substrate concentrations; and; the Lindemann mechanism for unimolecular reactions: second-order at low pressures, first-order at high pressures.
The best known plots of the Michaelis–Menten equation, including the double-reciprocal plot of / against /, [2] the Hanes plot of / against , [3] and the Eadie–Hofstee plot [4] [5] of against / are all plots in observation space, with each observation represented by a point, and the parameters determined from the slope and intercepts of the lines that result.
Curve of the Michaelis–Menten equation labelled in accordance with IUBMB recommendations. In biochemistry, Michaelis–Menten kinetics, named after Leonor Michaelis and Maud Menten, is the simplest case of enzyme kinetics, applied to enzyme-catalysed reactions of one substrate and one product.
The observed velocities predicted by the Michaelis–Menten equation can be used to directly model the time course disappearance of substrate and the production of product through incorporation of the Michaelis–Menten equation into the equation for first order chemical kinetics.
Although the net formula for decomposition or isomerization appears to be unimolecular and suggests first-order kinetics in the reactant, the Lindemann mechanism shows that the unimolecular reaction step is preceded by a bimolecular activation step so that the kinetics may actually be second-order in certain cases.

Hanes plot of a/v against a for Michaelis–Menten kinetics In biochemistry , a Hanes–Woolf plot , Hanes plot , or plot of a / v {\displaystyle a/v} against a {\displaystyle a} is a graphical representation of enzyme kinetics in which the ratio of the initial substrate concentration a {\displaystyle a} to the reaction velocity v ...
Most drugs are eliminated from the blood plasma with first-order kinetics.For this reason, when a drug is introduced into the body at a constant rate by intravenous therapy, it approaches a new steady concentration in the blood at a rate defined by its half-life.
