Each monomer has a similar and compact α-β structure. The structure's core contains a central mixed five-stranded sheet structure from sheets β1 to β5. Strands β1 to β4, however, are organized in an anti-parallel arrangement while β4 and β5 are parallel, but only at their amino-terminal ends. At the other end of the parallel β4 and β5 strands, they are spread apart because of a β bulge in strand β4 caused by residue N74 of strand β3 as well as N91 and D92 of β4. The central sheet is accompanied on each side by two α-helices. Helices α1 and α2 are on one side of the sheet with α1 lying nearly flat against and perpendicular to the other direction of the strands, while helices α3 and α4 are on the opposite side of the sheet with helix α3 cupped within the curved face of the sheet. <ref name=Shiva/> The method used to determine the structure was [[X-ray crystallography]]. Sedimentation and crystal structure analysis clearly shows that Hpa2 is dimeric in solution and tetramerizes in the unit crystal. The crystal structure of the oligomer reveals that two Hpa2 dimers are held together by interaction between the bound acetyl-CoA molecules. The average B-factor value of the <scene name='56/564050/Bakhbone_mainechain/1' target=0>main chain</scene> is 23.9  with a 25.4 <scene name='56/564050/Sidechain/2' target=0>side chain</scene>. The R-factor is 0.19. <ref name=Shiva/>

The region around the <scene name='56/564050/Active_sites_zoom/1' target=1>active site</scene> has potential consequences for substrate binding. For Hpa2, there exists a pocket adjacent to the active site which is sealed off on two sides by the second Hpa2 monomer in each dimer. This pocket restricts the conformation of a polypeptide backbone in the vicinity of the active site. Therefore, Hpa2 is able to distinguish between potential substrate, whereby the only lysine side-chains that may enter the active site are those with surrounding polypeptides that can adopt a conformation with the ability to fit through the pocket. <ref name=Shiva/>
