The active site contains three different binding pockets to accommodate the substrate, Nicotinamide, and adenine.   
The active site contains three different binding pockets to accommodate the substrate, Nicotinamide, and adenine.   
The substrate binding pocket relies on heavily on hydrogen binding and ionic interactions in order to effectively bind the substrate.  Upon substrate binding, the substrate binding pocket undergoes a conformation change where interactions between the substrate or inhibitor and a glutamine residue (Q99) essentially pull the active loop closed.
