Irreversible inhibition by adduct formation

Description
Diisopropyl fluorophosphate (DFP) reacts with a serine group on a protein to form a covalent adduct.

The covalent bond renders the catalytically important serine ineffective in catalysis.

The adduct also may block substrate binding to the active site.
