Bovine xanthine dehydrogenase has the overall dimensions 155 Ǻ x 90 Ǻ x 70 Ǻ in its dimeric form and 100 Ǻ x 90 Ǻ x 70 Ǻ for the individual protomers.

This structure allows for interactions between co-factors of the same protomer. However, closest distance of co-factors between the two subunits is greater than 50 Ǻ, suggesting that the two subunits do not cross communicate <ref name="structure">PMID:11005854</ref>. | ||
