The <scene name='69/694228/Nrdh_structure/1'>MtNrdH structure</scene> determined by x-ray crystallography has 79 residues in a single polypeptide chain. The active site (shown in green) is dominated by a <scene name='69/694228/Nrdh_structure/3'>disulfide bond</scene> between Cys-11 and Cys-14, which serves as the site of reduction by thioredoxin reductase. <ref name="Swastik" />

Many thioredoxin-like proteins have a similar active site region, which includes the <scene name='69/694228/Nrdh_structure/4'>thioredoxin fold</scene>, a large turn in the protein structure right before the disulfide bond. The residues directly following the fold, <scene name='69/694228/Nrdh_structure/5'>CVQC</scene>, are the most highly conserved of all areas of the protein across multiple species.
