(dissociation constant or inhibition constant) was determined from nonlinear regression analysis by Dixon plot and secondary Lineweaver-Burk plot at various concentrations of 1–10, (Michaelis-Menten constant) is equal to the reciprocal of -axis intersection, (maximal velocity) is equal to the reciprocal of -axis intersection of each line for each concentration of 1–10 in the Lineweaver-Burk plot. The is equal to the reciprocal of -axis intersection of each line for each concentration of 1–10 in Dixon plot (Each point in Lineweaver-Burk and represents the mean of three determinations). Urease (BP) (Bacillus pasteurii ureases) and urease (JB) (Jack bean urease).
