Irreversible inhibitors, such as the organophosphorus and organomercury compounds, cyanide, carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulphide, combine with the enzyme to form a covalent bond.

#XL - Q Biochemistry

The extent of irreversible inhibition of the enzyme is dependent upon the reaction rate constant (and hence time) for covalent bond formation and upon the amount of inhibitor present.

diisopropylphosphofluoridate, reacts with a serine OH group in the active site of esterases such as acetylcholinesterase/chymotrypsin, whilst the organomercury compound p-hydroxymercuribenzoate reacts with a cysteine group, in both cases resulting in covalent bond formation and enzyme inhibition.
