The <scene name='90/904326/Closed_conformation/3'>closed state</scene> of neurofibromin has both protomers in a closed conformation, which inhibits the binding of Ras to the GRD of neurofibromin due to the HEAT/ARM blocking the GRD. A metal binding site between the N-HEAT/ARM domain and the GRD-Sec14-PH linker stabilize the closed conformation. This site is coordinated by three residues, C1032, H1558, and H1576, and a water molecule. This binding site is preferential for zinc- | The <scene name='90/904326/Closed_conformation/3'>closed state</scene> of neurofibromin has both protomers in a closed conformation, which inhibits the binding of Ras to the GRD of neurofibromin due to the HEAT/ARM blocking the GRD.

The <scene name='90/904326/Open_conformation/3'>open state</scene> of neurofibromin has one protomer in a open conformation and the other in a closed conformation. The protomer in the open conformation allows for the binding of Ras because of reorientation of the GRD and Sec14-PH domains. In the open conformation, the metal binding site found in the closed conformation is lost due to separation of the N-HEAT/ARM and the cysteine residue from the histidine residues founds in the GRD-Sec14-PH linker. | The <scene name='90/904326/Open_conformation/3'>open state</scene> of neurofibromin has one protomer in a open conformation and the other in a closed conformation.
