equilibrium - Formating chemical equations for proteins binding in multiple configurations


I am working on problems involving protein-protein binding, particularly ones in which two proteins may bind in two or more configurations, and where some of the resultant structures may also bind with other proteins subsequently, and I am wondering how best to format chemical equations.


I am used to writing chemical equations on a single line like:


[A]+[B]kXakXd[AB]


but formating a reaction where multiple dimers can arise from the same reaction on a single line looks confusing and ugly:



[AB]X1kXd1kXa1[A]+[B]kXa2kXd2[AB]X2


Worse than that, its not clear how one would write an equation where a third configuration could emerge from the reaction.


What is the best way to format equations like this?
