Inactivation rates (k$\\sb{\\rm obs}$/I$\\sb{\\rm o}$), binding constants (K$\\sb{\\rm I}$), acylation rates (k$\\sb{\\rm a}$), and turnover numbers (TON) have been determined for the inhibition of HLE and $\\alpha$-chymotrypsin by the lactone 12a, and the results are consistent with a mechanism-based inhibition process.
