And that means by increasing the concentration of substrate, our substrate can basically compete and outcompete that inhibitor molecule and this is basically what defines competitive inhibition and what separates competitive inhibition from non competitive as well as non competitive. So for any given inhibitor concentration, the competitive inhibition can be reversed by increasing the concentration of substrate. That is, the substrate will begin to compete and eventually will out compete that inhibitor. And once that substrate binds to the active side, that will activate our enzyme. So this basically means that if we increase the concentration of substrate high enough, eventually all the active sites will be replaced by that substrate. And that means the overall maximum velocity V max or the maximum rate of activity of the enzyme does not actually change when we're dealing with competitive inhibition.
