Feedback inhibition occurs when the end product of a reaction interferes with the enzyme that helped produce it. The inhibitor does this by binding to a second active binding site that's different from the one attached to the initial reactant. The enzyme then changes its shape and can't catalyze the reaction anymore. This type of inhibition is done as a regulatory mechanism to meet the metabolic needs of the cell or organism.
