The tertiary structure creates a<scene name='82/823083/Aminobindingpocket/1'> binding pocket of amino acids</scene> that are important to the active site. His282 provides pi-stacking, Phe305 provides Hydrophobic contacts, and Tyr101 provides Hydrogen bonding. The tertiary structure also allows the NSL ligand to interact using its 4-hydroxy with the catalytic triad. LsdA can only cleave 4-hydroxystilbenes. The photo below shows the NSL ligand interacting in the binding pocket, and it also shows the orange heme interacting with the amino group on the ligand.

The tertiary structure also creates a metal binding site of Histidines to keep the iron molecule in place. There have been two mechanisms proposed for Lsd's. In one mechanism, the hydroxystillbenoid is activated via the enzyme-catalyzed deprotonation of the 4-hydroxy group, which then allows electron delocalization toward an Fe3+. In the other mechanism, π electron density from the double bond is redistributed to the iron-oxy complex to form an Fe2+ cation intermediate. Deprotonation of the hydroxyl is demanding for both mechanisms and is assisted by Lys134 and Tyr101.
