NQO1 is a homo-dimer that functions via a “ping pong” mechanism. NAD(P)H binds to NQO1, reduces the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAD FAD] co-factor and is then released, allowing the quinone substrate to bind the enzyme and to be reduced. The NAD(P)H and the quinone binding sites of NQO1 have a significant overlap, thus providing a molecular basis for this “ping pong” mechanism.

Certain [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coumarin coumarins], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flavones flavones] and the reactive dye cibacron blue are [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Competitive_inhibition competitive inhibitors] of NQO1 activity, which compete with NAD(P)H for binding to NQO1. [[Dicoumarol]] (3-3’–methylene-bis (4-hydroxycoumarin)),[[Image:Figure3 copy.jpg|border|center|300px]] is the most potent competitive inhibitor of NQO1. Dicoumarol competes with NAD(P)H for binding to NQO1 and prevents the electron transfer to FAD.

In addition to its role in the detoxification of quinones, NQO1 is also a 20S proteasome-associated protein that plays an important role in the stability of the tumor suppressor p53 and several other short-lived proteins including [[p73α]] and ornithine decarboxylase ([[ODC]]). NQO1 binds and stabilizes [[p53]], protecting p53 from ubiquitin-independent 20S proteasomal degradation. Dicoumarol and several other inhibitors of NQO1 activity, which compete with NADH for binding to NQO1, disrupt the binding of NQO1 to p53 and induce ubiquitin-independent p53 degradation.
