The nicotinamide and adenine binding pockets work together to sufficiently bind NADH.  Both binding pockets implement hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions with their ligand fragment.  In addition to the interactions within the binding pockets, NADH is also supported by ionic forces between arginine (R99) and the pyrophosphate groups.

The hydroxyl groups of NADH's ribose fragments interacts with the H-bond network created by the substrate and asparagine (N137).
