Semilogx function giving a linear scale

I am trying to make a semilog function of my data, by setting the x data, and producing the y data based on an equation. The code below is what I currently have.

S = [10^-2 10^-1 1 10 100 1000 10^4]; % Remdesivir concentration, in uM

Km = 0.5; % Equilibrium constant, in uM

Vmax = 0.82; % max reaction velocity, in

Vobs = zeros(1,length(S)); % preallocates a vector for the observed velocity.

% itterates throught each potential value of Vobs, produces an array of

% values for Vobs to graph

for i = 1:length(S)

Vobs(i) = (Vmax*S(i))/(S(i) + Km); % calculates Vobs from Vmax, Km, and the S concentration at a specified concentration

end

% Maintains all drawings

hold on

semilogx(S,Vobs)

xlabel ('Remdesivir concentration (uM)');

ylabel('Vobs (uM)');

title('Vobs vs Remdesivir concentration (uM)- ' )

What am I doing wrong?

S = [1e-2 1e-1 1 10 100 1000 1e4]; % Remdesivir concentration, in uM
Km = 0.5; % Equilibrium constant, in uM
Vmax = 0.82; % max reaction velocity, in 
Vobs = zeros(1,length(S)); % preallocates a vector for the observed velocity.
% itterates throught each potential value of Vobs, produces an array of
% values for Vobs to graph
for i = 1:length(S)
    Vobs(i) = (Vmax*S(i)/(S(i) + Km)); % calculates Vobs from Vmax, Km, and the S concentration at a specified concentration
end
% Maintains all drawings 
semilogx(S,Vobs)
xlabel ('Remdesivir concentration (uM)');
ylabel('Vobs (uM)');

Delete hold on line . It produces a figure window with linear scale.

Hi Vedant,

You're very close. I would use the following sequence. Just to be sure, you should define the 'XScale' as a 'log' axis.

hfig = figure;

ax1 = axes('XScale','log','YScale','linear','Parent',hfig);

hold(ax1,'on');

tr1 = semilogx(S,Vobs,'Parent',ax1);

This works as well, thank you so much!
