The grid was blotted for 4 s with Whatman #1 filter paper and then plunge-frozen in liquid ethane with a Mark IV Vitrobot (ThermoFisher) at 4 C and 100% humidity.

In particular, the catalytic domain was at lower resolution and had considerable missing density. Separate masks were created for each domain, and local refinement as implemented in cryoSPARC was used to improve the resolution of the separate catalytic and H-NOX domains of the global map. The subsequent local refinement resulted in 3.0 A and 3.4 A maps for the H-NOX and catalytic domains respectively. Both have improved density for outer regions of the map and improved local resolution. A composite map was used for model building.
