> The irreversible bond is a covalent bond...
Ahh okay. (Well, we knew it wouldn't be ionic...) Like I said, I don't know much biochemistry; enzymes seem large and mysterious to me!
> you are correct in saying that the reversible MAOIs are displaced, in fact, it is tyramine that displaces the reversible MAOI bond at higher concentrations.
Tyramine, or any other substrate at high enough concentrations!
