title: Rigorous derivation of the long-time asymptotics for reversible binding
abstract: Using an iterative solution in Laplace-Fourier space, we supply a rigorous mathematical proof for the long-time asymptotics of reversible binding in one dimension. The asymptotic power law and its concentration dependent prefactor result from diffusional and many-body effects which, unlike for the corresponding irreversible reaction and in classical chemical kinetics, play a dominant role in shaping the approach to equilibrium.
