Another highly conserved series of residues is the WSGFRP sequence. This nonpolar sequence is found on the surface of the molecule and is exposed to solvent.

Arg-68 is responsible for the stabilization of the hydrophobic region of NrdH. Arg-68 has two distinct conformations. In the <scene name='69/694227/Arg_68_conformation_1/ | <scene name='69/694227/Arg_68/4'>Arg-68</scene> is responsible for the stabilization of the hydrophobic region of NrdH. Arg-68 has two distinct conformations. In the <scene name='69/694227/Arg_68_conformation_1/4'>first conformation</scene>, Arg-68 is hydrogen bonded to His- 60 and Asp-59. When Arg-68 shifts to its <scene name='69/694227/Arg_68_conformation_2/5'>second conformation</scene>, it breaks its hydrogen bond with Asp-59. <ref name="Swastik" /> This reduction in hydrogen bonding gives the hydrophobic region more flexibility and is thought to occur when NrdH is in its inactive state. | ||
