An example of reversible inhibition is competitive inhibition, where an inhibitor molecule resembles the substrate and binds to the active site of an enzyme. This binding prevents the actual substrate from attaching but can be overcome by increasing the concentration of the substrate. Since the inhibitor does not permanently alter the enzyme, the inhibition can be reversed when the inhibitor is removed or when enough substrate is present.
