TL;DR

Equations based on the assumption of a reversible first step in the reaction between organophosphate inhibitors and esterases are proposed for the bimolecular rate constant which now includes an affinity constant and a phosphorylation constant.

Abstract

Equations based on the assumption of a reversible first step in the reaction between organophosphate inhibitors and esterases are proposed for the bimolecular rate constant which now includes an affinity constant and a phosphorylation constant. The treatment applies when the inhibition reaction follows first-order kinetics.
