trifluoromethyl ketone containing (TFK) inhibitors. We demonstrated that the ketone hydration state was affected by the surrounding chemical moieties and was related to inhibitor potency, with inhibitors that favored the gem-diol conformation exhibiting greater potency. Ab initio calculations were performed to determine the energy of hydration of the ketone, and the values were correlated with esterase inhibition
