As far as structure is concerned, alcohol dehydrogenase exists as a tetramer with a zinc molecule complexed in each of the subunits.<ref>Vallee, Bert. L & Hoch, Frederic L. (1955) ''Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 41'',327-338. </ref> It has a SCOP catagory of an alpha and beta protein. It does contain at the N-terminal a domain that is all beta; however, the C-Terminal domain is alpha and beta, so the catagory is alpha and beta. The C-Terminal core has 3 layers of alpha/beta/alpha and parallel beta sheets of 6 strands.<ref>''Protein: Alcohol dehydrogenase from Human (Homo sapiens), different isozymes''.
