Statistical methods for the analysis of initial-velocity and/or inhibition data are described. They involve application of F tests (i) to determine goodness of fit to the first-order Michaelis-Menten equation, (ii) to predict the reaction mechanism by assessing slope and y-intercept effects in Lineweaver-Burk plots according to the inspection rules of Cleland [Cleland, W. W. (1%3) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 67, 188-l%], (iii) to test the linearity of the replots of slopes or y-intercepts versus the reciprocal of the substrate concentration or the inhibitor concentration, and (iv) to estimate the true K, or Ki values from these replots. The method serves to fill a gap in the kinetic analysis methodology between the antiquated graphical method and the sophisticated direct computer-fitting of data to a variety of possible rate equations. The entire theoretical and computational format is provided to allow the investigator to apply these statistical tests to his data using only a desk-top calculator.

## Abstract A novel method for highly sensitive detection of acetylcholine in royal jelly was proposed by using CE coupled with electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL). Acetylcholine, which could not react with Tris(2,2β²βbipyridine)ruthenium(II) to strengthen its ECL signals, decomposed into trime
