Must the amino acid residues in the active site be near each other along the polypeptide chain? Explain.
Proteins and Enzymes Are the two statements below TRUE or FALSE? a) The linear sequence of amino acids is referred to as the primary structure of a protein. b) The peptide bond that forms between amino acid residues always has the same structure regardless of the type of amino acids it joins. (ii) Proteins can have diverse functions. They can: - Be embedded within a cell membrane, performing a transport or structural role. - Catalyze reactions in the cytosol as enzymes. Explain how these different properties are a function of primary, secondary, and tertiary structure.

If you have an enzyme that has a primary sequence that is 429 amino acids in length, is it possible that both an amino acid position 215, as well as amino acids located at 342, and 401, can all be part of an active site of a protein? Explain why or why not?
