Neostigmine is a competitive reversible inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase. When the drug interacts with the serine of the enzyme's active site, a nucleophilic substitution reaction takes place where the drug loses a phenol group leading to the formation of a stable intermediate. However, serine then gets capped by a stable urethane group. Hydrolysis then occurs preventing "aging" from happening. The serine will then return to its normal form so this inhibition is reversible.

How does acetylcholine bind to acetylcholinesterase?

Acetylcholine binds to the active site of acetylcholinesterase through hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interactions. This binding allows the enzyme to hydrolyze acetylcholine into choline and acetate, ultimately terminating the signal transmission at the synapse.


What is the process of reversible adiabatic expansion and how does it affect the thermodynamic properties of a system?

Reversible adiabatic expansion is a process in thermodynamics where a system expands without heat exchange with its surroundings. This expansion leads to a decrease in temperature and pressure within the system, while the volume increases. The process is reversible, meaning it can be reversed without any energy loss. This type of expansion affects the thermodynamic properties of a system by changing its internal energy, temperature, pressure, and volume in a predictable manner according to the laws of thermodynamics.
