NO2- + 4 H+ + 6 ferricytochrome c = NH4+ + 6 ferrocytochrome c + 2 H2O

The physiological form of the enzyme is believed to be a double trimer of 2 NrfA and 1 NrfH subunits ([[2j7a]]). The catalytic subunit NrfA is a pentaheme cytochrome c where the short distances between <scene name='CcNiR/Hemes3/5'>hemes</scene> allow a fast and efficient electron transfer: the active site(<scene name='CcNiR/Heme1/1'>heme1</scene>) has been reported as an unusual lysine-coordinated high-spin heme. NrfH is a small membrane-bound cytochrome comprising four c-type heme groups and it serves a double purpose. On one hand, it anchors the catalytic subunits to the membrane. On the other hand, it serves as a quinol oxidase, transferring electrons from the quinone pool to the catalytic subunits. The overall haem arrangement of the NrfHA complex is rather unusal, comprising 28 hemes in a compact arrangement.
