The three-dimensional conformation of a protein may be strongly influenced by amino acid residues that are very far apart in sequence. This relationship is in contrast to secondary structure, where the amino acid residues are: a. always side by side. b. generally near each other in sequence. c. invariably restricted to about 7 of the 20 standard amino acids. d. often on different polypeptide strands. e. usually near the polypeptide chain's amino terminus or carboxyl terminus.
