Cc7 is a single polypeptide chain 68 residues total containing three heme groups. The polypeptide strand has one alpha helix 4 residues in length and two beta strands 2 residues in length. The heme groups are labelled as I, III, and IV. The binding site is located on the distal side of heme group IV where <scene name='71/716635/Active_site/1'>lysibe residues 41, 42, 46 and 50</scene> are an interactive component of the active site. The net charge of these residues is positive, thus binding to negatively charge compounds or cations.<ref>Assfalg M, Bertini I, Bruschi M, Michel C, Turano P.
