High-resolution X-ray and neutron crystallography reveal redox-dependent rearrangements in the hydrogen-bond network of ferredoxin–NADP+ reductase (FNR), highlighting structural changes around the FAD cofactor and shifts in water molecules that underpin its electron-transfer mechanism. These findings provide valuable insights into the functional modulation of FNR.
